<p>Dan and Joe are running their first ever competitive running event this Sunday - the Barcelona marathon - for CHICKS!</p> <p>CHICKS provide Country Holidays for Inner City Kids from underprivileged backgrounds. The children CHICKS support come from a variety of backgrounds &ndash; those living in poverty, children that are being neglected or abused, either mentally, physically or sexually, children who have lost parents or even children who are full time young carers.</p> <p>On a camp the kids have a chance to meet new friends, read books, draw and play football - things we take for granted - in a secure and safe environment, without the pressures of their domestic situations.</p> <p>Having volunteered at a camp before, I have seen how this opportunity to act like a normal kid provides the children with a host of skills they can take back home with them, as well as opportunities they would otherwise not have access to.</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
