Story

Hi All,

As some of you already know I have decided to take on the challenge of running a half marathon in 2h15mins (Hackney half Marathon) on the 30th of April.

I have been running for few years now and more intensively these last months, I am very excited to see the result of my training and how far it is taking me.

On this occasion, I would like to share with you my Fundraising page for the Charity: United World Schools. Indeed I would like this run to be, not only a personal sport trial but also a chance for all of us to feel grateful and useful in helping for a greater good.

Together we can make this world a better place even with the smallest contribution and give a chance to destitute children to access education. http://www.unitedworldschools.org/

United World Schools is an international charity that builds networks
of community-based primary schools to provide free education for poor and destitute children in developing and war-torn regions of the world.

They ensure that the grassroots educational programmes are locally anchored, protecting indigenous languages, cultures and customs. Furthermore the charity aims to train teachers from within the community. UWS is currently raising funds to build their 50th School in Cambodia with your support it will happen!

I feel truly thankful for being able to choose my own path and believe that Education is the key for a better world.

Please support me, any donation is welcome....Thank you so much !!!
