Asics Reading Half Marathon 2009 · 29 March 2009 ·

For Life Thailand brings care, equality and opportunity to disabled children in Thailand. We support day-care centres, family-based care, physiotherapy and the rehabilitation of children from institutions back into communities. Our goal is to support children, families and communities in Thailand.

Story

On Sunday 29 March 2009, I ran the Reading Half Marathonin 2 hours 20 mins!

Please sponsor me! For Life is a fantastic charity that supports disabled kids in Thailand. Being born with even a minor disability in Thailand often results in a life spent in orphanages. I have visited some of these and seen what a difference For Life makes to the kids there. Instead of sitting in a cot all day with little attention, they are able to be in nurseries doing the kind of fun stuff kids in the UK take for granted. For Life also supports families who care for their disbabled children at home, helping with care and tackling the stigma these families often face from their local communities. Through them, lives really are changed for the better.

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