Royal Parks Half Marathon 2016 · 9 October 2016 ·

Samburu women and girls walk up to 12 miles or 6 hours, every day in search of water. Every 20 seconds, a child dies from preventable water-related disease. Wells save lives and result in kids going to school. Watch our video at https://vimeo.com/150817630 .

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit Latham & Watkins' Royal Parks Half Marathon Runners' JustGiving page, in support of the Samburu Project.

This year, twelve LW teammates will join over 16,000 other runners in the 13.1 mile route through Central London, taking in the spectacular sites of the capital and the beautiful Royal Parks, starting and finishing in the stunning Hyde Park.

This year, our team will be running in support of Latham's charity of the year, The Samburu Project -- a small charity that provides wells to the villages of the Samburu people in Kenya:

  • Samburu women and girls walk up to 12 miles every day in search of water. A local source of clean water would mean that girls can go to school and women can engage in other activity, such as micro-business or farming.
  • Diarrhea is the leading cause of infant mortality among children under the age of 5 in Samburu. Clean water would almost eradicate this problem.
  • A local source of water allows villagers to grow crops and provide food to their
    families.

Again, thank you for visiting our page, and please consider donating to our cause.  Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity.
