I have never ran for charity before but this is the first time I have...because it’s a cause I really believe needs support. I am aiming to run 100K in January and then as many miles as I can beyond that as long as people keep donating to help!

Why? Because War Child UK aim to reach children as early as possible when conflict (war zones on their doorstep) breaks out, and stay on to support them long after the TV cameras have gone home. This is not just for show...Children deserve to live their life in safety, as a right, not just as a privilege. 

War Child UK help keep children safe, give them an education, and equip them with skills for the future. They understand children's needs, respect their rights, and put them at the centre of everything they do. Whether it's helping Syrian children access education, rehabilitating ex-child soldiers in the Central African Republic or seeking justice for young people detained in Afghanistan. 

War Child UK also work with children and young people to change systems and practices that affect them. Campaigning on the root causes of conflict, and demand that children are at the centre of all humanitarian responses. YOUR support means we together can continue the crucial work and reach even more children. Please donate as much as you can...thank you xxx
