I am taking part in the 10 km London race on Sunday 12th of July 2009, running for a charity that is close to my heart: ABC (Action for Brazil's Children) Trust. If you want to know more about this charity, please feel free to visit their website: http://www.abctrust.org.uk/
Basically, ABC Trust is dedicated to help the most vulnerable children and young people of Brazil, where 7 million children are on the streets, 450,000 children abandoned, 1000 children die every year. By raising awareness and funding, ABC supports the work of local, community-led organisations who give children the education, shelter, food, and inspiration they need to transform their lives.
Few examples on how the donation will be spent:
£25 pays for food and shelter for one child for a week who would otherwise be living on the street.
£250 provides school teaching materials for a class of 50 for a year.
You can see how little money can have a big positive impact for those children.
As you know, I hate running, and I am only doing it because I strongly believe this cause is worth it.
Thanks for your support and for visiting my fundraising page.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Action For Brazil's Children Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
