Hi everyone,

 

I’m running the Royal Parks half marathon on Oct 6, 2013 to raise money for Plan International and the work that they do. It’s also a bit of a personal challenge having never run further than 10k!!

 

I’ve decided to support the Because I’m A Girl Campaign as it’s a really good reason to get out there and do something for the ladies of the world….

 

Support our Girls Fund

Millions of girls are denied access to education. Girls are forced into marriage, suffer abuse and discrimination, and don’t have the same choices and opportunities that boys and men have.

 

As part of our Because I am a Girl campaign, Plan UK’s Girls Fund supports girls living in poverty around the world. We help girls to claim their rights and access life-changing education. With your generous support we can keep delivering practical solutions that help girls build themselves a better future.

 

·         £5 per month could train community workers in Bangladesh to register births, meaning girls can prove their age and claim their rights

 

·         £10 per month could provide a year’s school fees and study materials for a girl in Uganda

 

·         £96 could provide a three month scholarship to a girl in El Salvador that will equip her with the skills to earn her own income

If you are kindly sponsoring me, thank you very much in advance, anything you can give will be much appreciated.

 

Let me know if you have any questions or would like to know more about Plan's work.

 

Thanks, Sally
