Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our page.

As a group of six, we collectively and spontaneously agreed to partake in a half marathon. There is no way on earth we would have agreed to do so unless there was a higher purpose. Far from being Olympic level runners, although being no strangers to the runs, we're going to buckle up and take the step forward. 

The half marathon is in aid of the Orphan Home campaign, which provides safe, loving homes for orphans in Pakistan and Gambia. Last year the “Half Marathon 4 Homes” raised an amazing £20,000. A total of £40,000 is needed to build one orphan home and we hope you can help us reach the remaining target this year.

All proceeds will help provide a wholesome and nurturing environment for orphan children in Pakistan and Gambia, where they can gain a proper education and work to a brighter future. Learn more about our amazing “Orphan Kind” project.

In a time where no one can claim innocence of being unaware of the atrocities around the world, we as a human race must pull together and start making a change.
