My story

 

Hey, thanks for visiting my JustGiving page.  I am running the Birmingham Half Marathon on 11th October 2009 to raise money for 'Reaching the Unreached' (RTU). 

RTU is an organisation based in a small village in rural south India. Its mission is to respond to the needs of the poorest people in the surrounding remote villages, providing health care, low-cost housing, clean water, support for the elderly, schools, and more. Children are at the heart of RTU’s work, especially those who have been abandoned, rescued from abuse, or orphaned. Increasingly children are losing parents to AIDS, and some are HIV+ themselves. RTU’s four ‘Children’s Villages’ provide homes for over 600 children, living in family groups of 6-8, with a foster mother. RTU supports these children through to adulthood and independence. 

In the summer of 2006 I was part of a group who volunteered at RTU so I saw at first hand the amazing work that is done there. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
