In just over a week Paul will be taking part in the Great North Run and the kids and I will be there in Newcastle to cheer him on, a marathon in itself!

In order to make the pain of a half marathon more bearable, Paul is raising money for the Rasa Schools Foundation which supports the Ebenezer School in Zimbabwe. Set up by our inspiring friend Veronika, after her former school was almost destroyed by flooding after a violent storm in 2019, the Rasa School Foundation has successfully rebuilt the Ebenezer School so that young people in the Rasa area can continue to access education and fulfill their potential. Now we are fund raising to help purchase solar panels which will provide electricity, and computer equipment to expand the learning opportunities available for the pupils.

The children and young people that attend Ebenezer School walk on average 2 km to school each day because they value their education. A thought that will help Paul power through 13 miles around the streets of Newcastle.

We are very grateful for your support.
