Raising money for

SOS Children's Villages UK

Charity Registration No. 1069204

For nearly 60 years, SOS Children has built communities around the world for children who have no one to turn to. By providing a home and a new mother in a purpose-built local Village, thousands of orphaned and abandoned children have been given a loving and secure family for life.

SOS Children also plays an important role in supporting the development of local communities by building and running nursery, primary and secondary schools; vocational training centres and medical centres, all of which are open to the children in our care and to those from the wider community. Where possible, we want to prevent child abandonment, so we offer skills, training, education, counselling and micro-loans to vulnerable families so can they can provide for their children in the long-term. SOS Children also provides emergency relief in situations of crisis and disaster.

Today, we care for more than 78,000 children in 490 unique SOS Children's Villages in 124 countries worldwide, and also support a further one million children and families in local communities.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year I set out to prove to myself that I could finish the half marathon. As a result of your great support, I finished the Singapore Half Marathon in 2hrs 21mins. Along the way I raised money for our preferred charity, SOS Children’s Village - refer to below link for more details, which makes great efforts to improve the lives of orphaned and underprivileged children around the world.

How better to challenge myself this year, than take on a full marathon! So come Sunday 20^th September, I will be running the Sydney Marathon.

Again I will be looking for your generous support, as I aim to raise GBP3,500 for SOS.

I look forward to your warm support and think of me on Sunday 20^th Sept.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
