Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running Windsor Half Marathon 2013 to raise funds for Colel Chabad.

Since 1788 this wondrous charity has been helping the needy of Israel.

Colel Chabad operates free soup kitchens across Israel, serving up more than one million meals each year. Many of the diners are elderly Holocaust survivors who come as much for a warm smile and simple human contact as they do for the food itself.

The charity has an entire division dedicated to helping widows and their children. It has a holistic approach, taking into account the material and emotional needs of hundreds of orphaned families.

It sponsors medical treatment for the poor, provides daycare centres, arranges wedding ceremonies for those couples who cannot afford them and and undertakes many other vital social-welfare projects.

Colel Chabad helps poor Israelis regardless of their age, gender or religious background, in a loving manner that upholds and enhances their dignity. You can read more about their work here: http://www.colelchabad.org/index.bp

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. I'd love you to help this wonderful organisation. Be inspired!
