Svetlana Strbac-Lewis
Svetlana's Paris Marathon
Fundraising for The British Red Cross Society
Story
Thanks for taking the time to our JustGiving page.
On April 8th, the four of us are going to be running / walking / hobbling 26.2 miles through the streets of Paris for the British Red Cross.
Whilst hiking the staircases at The Ned daily is standing us in good stead - it's become fairly apparent(!) that we're going to need to put a few more miles in before we cross the channel - so your donations to the British Red Cross in our support will be a massive help to get us through the early morning runs and the nights spent away from the bar.
The British Red Cross helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are - responding to conflicts, natural disasters and individual emergencies. Your donations will go towards appeals all over the world, including supporting those in Yemen, Myanmar and Syria.
