5K Santa Run · 8 October 2008

When the sun goes down the working day ends for millions of people without electricity. At the flick of a switch, lives can be instantly changed with a solar light. SolarAid wants to make real, sustainable change happen.

Story

Hello!

Thank you for visiting my SolarAid Santa Run page.

As you may have guessed, I will be running 5km on the 7th December dressed as Santa Claus. You may ask - has she lost her mind? Not this time!

The whole point is to raise money for SolarAid. With the earth recieving more energy from the sun in 1 hour than the earth uses in a year. It is unbelievable that 1.6 billion in the developing world are still without electricity. With many using dangerous and smoky kerosene lamps when they could have clean, cheap and easy solar instead.

£15 can provide a solar lantern for a family, giving a child the chance to study and get an education.

Please sponsor me!

Ruth Louise

P.S Sponsor me and you can come along and laugh at me as well :-)
