From Argentina to London’s Royal Parks: Running for NPH UK

Hello! We are Florencia and Mayra, and this October we will be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon together to raise money for NPH UK, a cause that means a great deal to both of us.

We met back at university in Argentina and have been close friends ever since. Life has taken us in different directions. Florencia now lives in London and Mayra is based in Copenhagen. Even so, our shared values of friendship, solidarity, and giving back have always kept us connected across borders.

Florencia is proud to be a Trustee of NPH UK, the UK arm of NPH (Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos), which supports vulnerable children and young people across Latin America with safe homes, education, healthcare, and long term care. This work is something we both truly believe in.

Our fundraising journey is not new. Last year, Mayra came to London to support NPH UK by joining Florencia in a charity walk, and this year we are taking things a step further by tackling 21 kilometres through London’s beautiful Royal Parks together.

Running a half marathon will not be easy, but the challenge is a privilege, and every step we take will help support children facing far greater challenges every day. By donating, you are helping NPH UK continue its life changing work and create brighter futures.

Thank you so much for supporting us, encouraging us, and helping turn our friendship and every mile we run into something that truly makes a difference.

💙

Florencia and Mayra
