Virgin London Marathon 2016 · 24 April 2016 ·

The Iraqi Association's IraqChild project was launched in 2007 to help alleviate the suffering of the most vulnerable children in Iraq. A mobile clinic provides free medical treatment in Baghdad and other areas affected by conflict, whilst a children's centre in Baghdad offers educational support.

Story

On the 24th April I will be joining thousands of others to run the London Marathon. If you had told me that even a year ago I would have never believed you. Training has been hard and meant lots of dark early
runs, runs in the rain and wind and running when I absolutely haven't
wanted to. As hard as it's been I know that it will all be worth it when I cross the finish line.

The same cannot be said for all those suffering in Iraq who have for years had to live with insecurity and a lack of basic provisions. That is why I am asking you to donate to help fund a mobile health clinic in Iraq. Please give what you can (and maybe a little more) to make the 26.2 miles I've got to get through worth it not just to me on a personal level but to those who are less fortunate and need our help.
