Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Through this personnal challenge I have set myself I want to raise awareness about this charity and great body of people that is the Notre Dame Refugee center.

Independant of any religion, race, sexual orientation, the NDRC helps asylum seekers find some peace in their life. They provide food and clothes to those people waiting for legal status after having left countries teared by war and violence. They offer social advices, medical checks, english classes and computer classes. More importantly they offer some human interaction and warmth to families and individual far from their countries.

I got involved with them over the past summer helping them cook and distribute food and I was impressed by the difficult situations of the refugees I met but as well by their sympathy. Impressed as well by how little can help a lot. A little of your time through volunteering but a little money as well especially when you realize that we were able to cook a meal for 80 people with only 20pds.

on Feb 28th, I will be my first marathon (and hopefully my last!). It requires mental and physical strength. For this I have been training since end of october, running 3 times a week. To date that means I have run 400km out of the 700km of my preparation.

The target is to raise 3000Eur for the Notre Dame Refugee Center. That is 10Eur for every km remaining in the preparation, more importantly that is a lot of food and professional advices refugees can get!

Finishing would obviously already be a great achievement, but my personnal target is to run in less than 3h40mn and therefore I will double my contribution if I manage to beat this target.

So be generous and help the refugees!
