Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On the 11th of April I will be wrecklessly taking to the streets of Paris (although sadly not dressed as the Eiffel Tower) to run 26.2 miles on behalf of CamKids, the Cambodian Childrens Charity.The Cambodian Children’s Charity was established to help children in Cambodia who are either poor or whose parents are not there for them: orphans, street children, children living in poor rural areas and children affected by natural disasters, such as flood or famine. Working with local communities, offering support to families through the provision of nutritional, medical and educational support, healthcare advice
and vocational skills as well as support for families that have been affected by illness or disease, the charity's aim is to reduce the incidence of child abandonment.
Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in the world. The death of an estimated 2 million Cambodians (almost 25% of the population, at that time) due to the extension of the Vietnam war into Cambodian territory in the early 1970s and the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge, which followed, has left a lasting and continuing legacy in the country.
30 years after these events, the effects are still being felt today as the decimation of the extended family network by the separation and murder of family members, means that children whose parents die, are ill, too poor or otherwise unable to look after them, have a low likelihood of being looked after in their own community.
