On Sunday 29 Sept I completed the Cheltenham Half Marathon for Syrian refugees. This is the longest run I have done in more than 22 years.

Thank you to everyone who has generously donated so far. Please continue to support the cause using the Donate button below.  Thank you.

Cheltenham Christian Aid group is raising money to help Syrian refugees. The Syrian conflict has triggered the biggest displacement of people this century. Half of the population have had to leave their homes. Now, 6.5 million people are displaced inside Syria, and millions more have fled across borders as refugees most to neighbouring Lebanon and Iraq. 

Christian Aid partners are carrying out a three-year project working in the north of Iraq and the east of Lebanon. The project will focus on helping children, youth and people with disabilities gain access to the services they need to survive and flourish. This will be done by providing education, psychosocial support and vocational skills training. 

Donations will be matched on a 6 to 1 basis by Bread for Life, meaning that when the £5,000 target is reached, the project will receive total funding of £35,000.  Additionally donations by UK tax payers may be gift aided.

Please support my fundraising event and contribute towards this goal.

I am running the Cheltenham Half Marathon on Sunday 29 September in aid of this great cause.
