    Weʼve raised £1,584 to support my ultra marathon for the Brechin High School Rwanda Fund.

    Funded on Friday, 26th July 2019

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    In just 100 days in 1994, some 800,000 people were slaughtered in Rwanda by ethnic Hutu extremists. They were targeting members of the minority Tutsi community.

    This year Brechin High School are raising funds to send 10 young people to Rwanda. We work alongside Comfort International. A charity established in 1999 to support genocide survivors and more recently people in Burundi.

    On our last visit to Rwanda we were able to provide:

    New beds for residencies of street children

    A laptop for a Technical College

    Clothes for vulnerable mothers and their babies

    Paint for residencies of street children

    Cement for the building and repair of homes

    Support for a widow's craft group

    To support the fundraising on Friday 3rd May I'll be swapping my usual drive to Brechin for a marathon run to and from work. This will be a total of 55.6 miles. It is an ambitious challenge for a cause that is very close to my heart.
