Vitality Bath Half Marathon 2017 · 12 March 2017 ·

We are a group of six friends who formed an organisation called, ‘Path to the Future’. Path to the Future (PTTF) started in 2005 shortly after the news “a Tsunami hit Sri Lanka” on 26th December 2004. Hearing news of the devastation of this natural disaster and seeing footage of Tamil communities torn apart had an immense impact on this group of friends, who wanted to make a difference. Our mission was to fund projects that helped children affected by the Tsunami. Starting with just a small group of friends and with an ever growing membership, our aim is to help more underprivileged children in the North/East of Sri Lanka, to give them better opportunities in their lives by offering basic needs as well as good education, healthy food and sports/recreational facilities. On personal visits to Sri Lanka, PTTFs director has identified projects that need our aid and visited regularly to check on their progress. However this is a huge target and we need your help. We are asking you through a regular donation to support us in achieving this. You can do this by either filling in the Standing order mandate attached or by online banking using the details provided on the Mandate form. Your contribution, however big or small, will allow us to begin building work and provide much needed amenities. All donations are subject to gift aid. May I take this opportunity to thank you in advance for your generosity which will benefit children who are in desperate need of a home.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Back in December 2004 a Tsunami
hit my home country of Sri Lanka, causing devastating effect to thousands of
people, many of whom are still trying to rebuild their lives.

At the time, along with 5 of my
university friends we decided to do something to help those impacted, forming a
charity called Path to the Future.

To-date we have received great
support from friends and family, which has led to us being able to achieve the
following;

  • Paid for private
    tuition to allow children to get regular education

  • New computers have
    been bought to support the education of children

  • 32 bicycles have
    been purchased to allow children to get to and from school

  • Building of a new
    playground

  • A brand new physiotherapy
    bed

We are now looking to build a physiotherapy room disable children after war rehabilitation.

As such, a group of us have
decided to run the Reading Half Marathon, to raise funds for this great cause.
