We work in the world's toughest places to ensure children are in education.

Story

I am tackling the London Marathon Challenge once again as my way of making something of a difference in this imperfect world.  I have chosen to support Street Child as I genuinely believe that no child should be facing life on the streets. I believe that all children deserve the best start in life, wherever in the world they may be born, and that having a safe home and education should be the "norm" and not an unattainable goal.  Inevitably and despite lots of promises I will facing the challenge with just limited training and over and above some pure grit and determination it will be the pledges which see me through to the finish line.  I am therefore extremely  grateful for your support.
