Hi my name is Dana and i am 5 years old, last year I ran the BUPA Great Manchester Mini Run and managed to raise £1282. This year I want to raise £5000 to help the children of Syria with shelter and give them a safer and happier environment to live in. 

The on-going violence in Syria has meant that over 100,000 people and over 4,000 children have lost their lives since the beginning of the conflict. Hospitals have become under-resourced and overstretched, bursting to capacity.

The UN refugee agency says more than two million Syrians were now registered as refugees and a further 4.25 million have been displaced within Syria. Camps have become a breeding ground for preventable diseases with inadequate sanitation in overcrowded shelters. An estimated 6 million people in Syria are in need of food assistance.

These children are hungry, terrified, cold and have lost their family and homes. I want to do the run so I can help these children be happy again and put a smile on their faces.

Please help me to help them be happy again.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page
