It's 2 years since Dewi died, and we wanted to do something positive to mark this anniversary. Dewi served with Tearfund for many years and the Bangor 10K is the perfect opportunity to raise money for Tearfund, and make a difference to the lives of people like Ruth.

Ruth’s children used to beg for food. It broke her heart. ‘Everything seemed hopeless,’ she says. But then Ruth attended a course run by her church, where she was taught better farming methods. Now she can feed her family, and is saving up money so that her children can go to school. ‘Everything has changed,’ says Ruth. ‘It’s so exciting!’

We’re raising money for Tearfund so that more people like Ruth can step into a full and thriving life. Every £72 we raise could help someone like Ruth receive training to feed and provide for her family. Please sponsor us to help spread hope where it’s needed most.

Together, we can change the world for people like Ruth. Read more of their story at www.tearfund.org/about_you/fundraise/run_to_beat_poverty/ruths_story
