Asics British 10K London Run · 6 July 2008 ·

Since 1998 Cecily's Fund has transformed the lives of thousands of the most vulnerable children in Zambia by enabling them to go to school. Education gives them a ladder out of the destitution to which they are otherwise condemned. Tragically Cecily died there in her gap year. This is her legacy.

Story

Dear Friends

In July this year we will be running the British 10k to help send Zambian children orphaned by AIDs to school.

Zambia loses close to 200 people a day to HIV/AIDs - 17% of 15-49 year olds are infected wiping out the most productive age group in the country. The country struggles to support the 710,000 orphans who are a legacy of AIDs.

Through Cecily's Fund we are aiming to help send 100 young people to school this year. To give you an example of  how little it costs:

- £25 will pay for a child's primary education for a year

- £50 will pay for a child's secondary education for a year.

 Help us give them a chance at a better future.

Vidhu and Chris
