Welcome to Abz’s Penny Appeal London Marathon team Justgiving page. I am part of a team of runners will be DIGGING DEEP and taking on the famous 26.2 mile distance in June 2019.
We're asking you to DIG DEEP with us and help us build deep water wells in Africa.
Every day approximately 1,000 children under five die from diseases associated with dirty water; that’s according to the latest UNICEF and World Health Organisation figures.
I want to raise as much money as I can for Penny Appeal’s Dig Deep campaign, which is building a deep water well for vulnerable communities living in The Gambia.
Your donations will help Penny Appeal to Dig Deep and build a deep water well for communities affected by drought and famine.
Each well transforms a whole community, providing enough clean, fresh water to drink, wash, cook, raise livestock and grow crops for life.
It’s an amazing thing to do, and every well built saves more young lives from easily preventable waterborne diseases.
Today, 1.8 billion people in the world still use a source of drinking water that is contaminated by diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid and polio.
Every well we build will stop children travelling for miles to collect water; it will give girls the freedom to attend school and it will save the lives of both the young and the old.
So please, whatever you do, don’t leave this page without donating what you can to help us build wells, to transform entire communities and save children’s lives.
I thank you in advance and pray for your rewards now and after.
