Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In honour of my mum and in aid of her favourite charity Child Welfare Scheme (CWS) a charity which supports disadvantaged children and young people in Nepal. We are about to embark on a 16 week nasty, gruelling painful training schedule for a 55km run in Iceland in July.

Some of the facts:

Out of every 100 children in Nepal:

42 live below the poverty line

48 will be malnourished

42 will be involved in child labour

39 will not complete primary education

7 will die before their fifth birthday

On the positive side

£5 could provide a child with school books for a year

£10 could save a child's life by providing medical help

£50 could mean a street child no longer has to go hungry, by buying them a meal every day for a year

£250 could help treat 825 children from the slums, by paying the salary of a doctor for a whole month

£5000 could enable the CWS to provide a safe and warm night shelter to street children for a year.

 

What's that saying? 'No pain no gain' we'll take the physical pain and with your help, give some of those disadvantaged Nepalese children a potentially life changing gain, please help us reach our target with whatever you can spare THANK YOU!
