I haven't run in years. In fact, I don't particularly like running!..
But I've found a good cause: 'Building Schools for Africa'
...and I reckon its a good enough cause to run 26 miles:
Every penny 'Building Schools for Africa' raises goes towards building schools and supplying water and sanitation to the rural poor in Cameroon. The charity focuses on areas where children struggle to get even a basic education. Giving children an education within a school will quite literally alter the path their lives take. Not only does it give them an education but it provides a community, the opportunity to meet other children, build friendships and many of the other things that we in the developed world take for granted about school.

Its a well well run charity and your money will give these kids in Cameroon more than you can possibly imagine.
