Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Running this half marathon is a big challenge for me. My main aim is to run the whole thing without stopping to walk - this is 21 kilometres/13.1 miles. I have always struggled to be motivated to run, and at the beginning of 2019 even running 5k was gruelling. Throughout the hard work of training, and running the half marathon, my thoughts will be towards EAB, the people who work so hard to bring hope, and the communities that they are bringing hope to. Thinking of these people will keep me running. 

EAB as a charity carries out brilliant work in Northeast Brazil (based in Patos). They aim to “alleviate the effects of poverty, irrespective of age, culture or religion, and through their action in communities to show the love of God”. From teaching sign language to deaf people, to digging wells and building toilets, EAB brings important things to communities that need it most.
