LAUGAVEGUR ULTRA MARATHON 2008

Richard Coates is raising money for Children in Crisis
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

ICELAND ULTRAMARATHON · 26 May 2008

We work in some of the world's poorest places, where people suffer the effects of conflicts beyond their control. We are specialists in supporting communities that are remote, difficult to get to and difficult to work in. Put simply, we help children in places other charities just don't go.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page!

On Saturday 12th July, 2008 I shall be running the Laugavegur Ultramarathon in Iceland. All be it a baby ultra marathon of 35 miles, it still promises to be a very tough challenge through the Icelandic mountains and rivers (see youtube for a video taste of what it's like.....).

The challenge I will undertake is nothing compared to the challenge the impoverished children around the world I am running for face every day - the challenge to lead a normal happy childhood in areas affected by war, poverty and other desparate circumstances.

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

Many Thanks For Supporting Me And Children In Crisis. Your Donation will make a massive difference.

Smile On,

Richard
