Rosie May Foundation 10K

Rosie May 10K Fun Run · 16 June 2019
This summer I want to make a positive change to the lives of those less fortunate. I will be working with the Rosie May Foundation in Nepal to rebuild earthquake proof schools after the devastating tragedy in 2015, build greenhouses for food security, install water pipes for the health and safety of families and help victims of trafficking overcome trauma and restart their lives. I am running 10K to raise money for this cause and I ask for any donation out of the generosity and kindness of your hearts. Your small act of kindness will put a smile of a child's face and make an impact to disadvantaged communities.
The Rosie May Foundation was founded by Rosie Mays parents after the murder of their only daughter, Rosie May age 10 in December 2003. In December 2004 the family decided Christmas at home would be unbearable without their daughter who especially loved this time of year. So they decided to escape with their two sons from the horrific recollections of the year before. On Christmas day in South East Asia a tiny palm tree was planted by Rosies family in memory of their beautiful little girl. On Boxing Day their paradise island in the Indian Ocean was engulfed by the 2004 Asian Tsunami.It claimed more than 230,000 lives across fourteen different countries and was one of the deadliest natural disasters ever recorded. In Sri Lanka, thousands of children were made parentless by the tsunami and this was the inspiration for the foundations very first project the Rosie May Home. The Rosie May Foundation works directly on the ground in both Sri Lanka and Nepal to protect vulnerable children.
