Hello generous friends and family,

I will be running the Vodafone Big Marathon 2017 (my first Marathon) on Sunday 5th March in Malta to help raise money for the Vodafone Foundation. 

I have 2 objectives, 1. to raise €750 for charity and 2. to kick ass!

Leave the ass-kicking to me (hopefully I won't get my ass-kicked), I do however need your much appreciated help with the €750, please dig deep, show me your awesome support and help make the world a better place!

Thanks :)

The campaign selected for this Marathon is "Choose Love" which aims to raise money to support refugees. Globally, 65.3 million people are currently displaced from their homes due to conflict or natural disaster. Among them, 21.3 million people are living as refugees in other countries.

Money raised will go to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) & Europe's largest grassroots distributor for aid, Help Refugees. UNHCR & Help Refugees play a critical role in supporting both the immediate and long term needs of those who are displaced. In partnership with UNHCR money raised will allow us to continue to enable young refugees to access a quality digital education through our Instant Network Schools in both Africa and Greece. Working with Help Refugees we want to provide food, shelter and access to information for refugees across Europe.
