London Marathon 2019 · 28 April 2019 ·

Rebuilding Sri Lanka was founded by a group of individuals and families who were staying in Sri Lanka at the time of the tsunami in 2004. We are united by a love of Sri Lanka and its people and a desire to help Sri Lankans to re-establish their lives and have access to improved educational resources. We have received donations from friends and families around the world. Many individuals, schools, businesses and clubs have generously given their time and money to our appeal.

Story

Hi there wonderful supporter! Thank you for visiting, here’s a little bit about why!!

After seeing starving children in Cambodia this year I knew I wanted to help. I am privileged to have running as a hobby, these children don’t eat enough to have energy to run like we do & if I can use my running to help Rebuilding Sri Lanka (RSL) make a difference to even a few young lives, then I will! The VLM is an enormous platform for me to get your attention and raise as much awareness and money as I can. All of what we raise goes directly to the children, Clare, RSL’s founder and the best yoga teacher that ever there was, is the most kind & generous person I know, your money will be put to the best use to help improve these young lives. 

I knew running a marathon ‘normally’ wouldn’t make heads turn so this year I’m going for a Guinness world record, I felt running as a nut was enormously fitting!! I also HATE being hot, carrying stuff and generally anything that makes running harder so rest assured this is not going to be easy! The goal is sub 3.46, I’m aiming for around 3.30..a time not to be sniffed at without a costume! So every time I raise a few more quid know that it will be keeping me going. 

I will be training in the costume as much as I can as well as running a few races to help raise my profile, basically you’ll all be bored of seeing and hearing about this by the time we reach race day but that’s what it’s all about, showing passion for what you believe in and making the most of what we can do. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this & donating, please please spread the word and help this crazy nut achieve my target! x x x
