Philip's Midnight Run

Fundraising for Children4ChildrenNepal

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'll be joining 300 students in Hong Kong as they embark on the annual 24 Hour Race to Stop the Traffik, a non-stop relay beginning on the 23rd November at 9 a.m. They will keep circuiting the Peak until 9 a.m. the next morning raising badly-needed funds for Freedom Matters' fight against child trafficking in Nepal and for our support to survivors. I will be doing my bit to encourage the runners when they start fo flag in the depths of the night by running a half marathon in the opposite direction from midnight, thereby ensuring that I meet as many runners as possible to urge them onwards. I tried this last year and it nearly killed me - the body clock just isn't set for this kind of effort at that time of night. Please in turn support me by sponsoring me in this effort!

Children4ChildrenNepal (C4CN) was founded in 2012 to work with local partners in Nepal to combat trafficking and assist vulnerable and disadvantaged children. Originally called Freedom Matters, in the last 7 years we have: worked with partners combating trafficking and assisting those affected by it; delivered immediate earthquake relief and provided counselling and support to families and communities following its devastating effects. C4CN works in Nepal with a local partner, Right 4 Children, a Nepalese charity based in Pokhara, working on projects with the most vulnerable sections of society. These projects are providing training in the service industries and helping youths find jobs to support themselves and their families. We are also working with the Nepalese Government in schools to help improve the experience of school life through sports, arts drama and other projects. We are a small, cost-effective NGO managed by trustees who strongly believe that providing improved education and training opportunities for underprivileged children, young people, families and communities, helps to contribute to a safer environment, which is free from child labour, abuse and trafficking.
