Two Castles 10km Run · 13 May 2009

Cord is an international charity that works with people in highly sensitive and oppressive contexts to transform dysfunctional relationships into those that create peaceful & inclusive societies. Our vision, mission and values are inspired by the Christian faith. Our Vision is of a world where all people live in the fullness of peace; having the freedom to flourish and live free from fear. Our Mission is to transform dysfunctional relationships between individuals and communities and those holding power into positive and thriving relationships built on mutual dependency and trust. Cord works in partnership with local community based organisations to develop their skills, knowledge and expertise with a view to enabling them to more effectively advocate on behalf of communities with government, private companies, and others with power and leverage to impact the quality of life of disadvantaged communities.

Story

Having (just) survived last year, I have on signed up again to run from Warwick Castle to Kenilworth Castle on 6th June.  It's only 10k, but up hill and hard work in last year's thunderstorm. 

Anyway, the money I am raising is for a good cause: Cord is a long-established Leamington-based charity working internationally with people affected by violent conflict.  Cord runs education and enterprise programmes with Darfuri refugees living in Chad, with child soldier abductees in northern Uganda, refugees returning home to Burundi after a decade in camps, and in Cambodia.  Have a look at their website www.cord.org.uk and donate something to make a real difference for some of the world’s most disadvantaged people.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cord 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.

So please put a spring in my step by supporting Cord!
