On the 28th June, Hector and David will be running the hilly 13.1 mile course of the Ards Half Marathon. Not only would Hector like to achieve a personal best time for a half marathon, but more importantly use this event to raise funds for two very worthwhile causes.

The Leprosy Mission is 150 years old it would be a great encouragement to see your support for The Leprosy Mission as I train and run. Leprosy is still a big problem in the world, every two minutes someone hears the devastating words ‘you have leprosy’ but with your help we can see these people helped. It costs only £24 to find and cure someone of leprosy. Please give what you can to help someone affected by leprosy and to help me keep running!! Thank you.

The other charity being supported is 'Great Lakes Outreach'.

GLO works with visionary local leaders to transform Burundi through education, sport, business, healthcare and more, bringing hope to thousands of the most vulnerable.

We identify, equip and empower the best local leaders of passion, integrity, gifting and vision for the transformation of the nation. GLO has identified a network of exceptional Christian leaders in Burundi now representing multiple projects. We help these partners to develop, enabling them to increase their self-sufficiency. The results are exciting and encouraging despite Burundi’s many challenges.
