Dear friends,

Duncan was getting fed up with running marathons in London...

Mikaela was getting fed up with the ease of 10k runs and winter half marathons...

The group was collectively getting fed up with the ease of Spin classes and gym sessions...

So, they decided to push themselves to the limit (and rope in a few extra innocent friends)! They thought, what better challenge than to run one of the toughest marathons along one of the Seven Wonders of the World and in one of the planet's most beautiful settings.

So what charity to raise money for, for this crazy idea?

One of our team had a good family friend who several years ago set up an orphanage in Nepal, not only giving homes to children but providing schooling and healthcare. In the last twenty years the charity has grown to bases in twenty countries.

Rokpa specifically focuses on providing help where help is most needed, working in secluded and often politically volotile communities. Their strength lies in having an understanding of local environments and aiding at community level to promote long-term self-sufficiency.

Rokpa's website will tell you all you wish to know. Check out the fantasitc work they do at www.rokpa.org/gbr/en/home/

Thank you for visiting our page and for helping us support this great cause!

 

The Team.
