Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.  We're running the London Marathon for Emmaus, a charity we love because the idea behind it is so simple and yet so powerful: Instead of just giving homeless people a bed, why not give them a reason to get out of it?

Emmaus residents are offered full time work, purpose, a place in the community.  They can stay for a week or for the rest of their lives.

There aren't many charities that eventually pay their own way, but that's exactly the goal of every Emmaus Community.  So your donation isn't a handout - it's an investment.

Please give a lot.  No, make that loads!

love from Tania and David.

PS - Donating through this site is simple, fast, and totally secure.  It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us.  Emmaus will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
