Story

Hi,

Sponsor us and you could win a £50 ($100) Asics voucher!

Please sponsor us to run 90 miles.  We are running races on every continent to support orphaned children with The Mango Tree Orphan Support Programme.  We've created The Race Around The World challenge which includes 5 half marathons and a full marathon.  We'll be sweating through over 90 races miles and 800 training miles. In addition, we will be attempting to reach the top of Mount Kilimanjaro at 5,895m.

The Mango Tree Orphan Support Programme provides great help to orphans in an area of Tanzania that's been heavily affected by HIV/AIDS (8% of the Kyela population are AIDS orphans).

We've chosen this charity because it keeps all the admin costs down.  They get donations to where they are needed most so they can really make a difference.

Make a donation (however large or small) and we will enter you into a prize draw to win a £50 ($100) Asics voucher (thank you Asics!).  You'll have to wait until we've finished the final piece of the challenge in November to find out if you've won.  We will let the winner know by email.

Our challenge includes:

Date Continent Country Race / Event Event Type
