Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I’ve decided to run my 150th marathon to raise money and awareness for Meninadanca.

The BR-116 is Brazil’s longest and busiest highway and the fourth-longest road in the world. But it is also known as the worst road in the world for the sexual exploitation of children.

According to a Government study, along its 2,700 miles there are at least 262 places where it is known children are sold for sex – or, on average, one every ten miles

The worst rate of child sexual exploitation on the BR-116 is along a 300km stretch in the north of Minas Gerais state and south of Bahia state known as the child prostitution corridor.

It is where our five Pink Houses reach out to hundreds of vulnerable girls every day. Your donations can help Meninadanca provide more safety and resources for these vulnerable girls.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.
