Raising money for

Emmaus Hampshire

Charity Registration No. 1077264

Emmaus Hampshire is not just another homelessness charity! Far from just providing a safe place to stay, the Emmaus Hampshire "live/work" Community will provide Companions (as residents are known) with a home and with opportunities to learn new skills and make new friends. In return Companions will agree to sign off benefits and commit to a 40-hour working week within the Community. Emmaus Hampshire will also provide the wider community with an invaluable resource - a place to come to donate and buy quality second-hand goods; a place to chat with friends and Companions over a cup of coffee; a place to learn more about environmentally-friendly living ... and, of course, a place where they can feel that they are really making a difference!

My story

Dear Friends,

As many of you will know, Emmaus Hampshire is a BIG part of my life ... but my role within the project will be coming to an end in April 2009. For that reason, I have decided to run the Paris Marathon in April in the city where the Emmaus Movement began just after the second world war. I am hoping to stay at Emmaus Paris whilst I am there ... and I am also hoping to finish the race and raise lots of money for a fantastic cause!

I am trying to be as disciplined as possible with my training ... but having a long list of sponsors to be accountable to will really encourage me to do my very best!

Please sponsor me as much as you can spare.

With love,

Avril

PS With special thanks to my running partners - Debs, Sharon and Spikey-dog!
