On Monday 6th February, a Major 7.8 Magnitude Earthquake struck Central Turkey and North-West Syria, killing at least 42,310 people. People have lost their lives, families, homes and belongings with the death toll continuing to rise.

I'm Jacob and I'm 11 years old. I'm trying to run 100km over the 46 day period of Lent. I'm raising money for 'Unite for Humanity', who are helping the people of Turkey and Syria after the major earthquakes that have hit them. This will be a difficult challenge to complete as that means I need to run at least 2.5km a day, while factoring in rests to prevent injury.

The Turkish and Syrian people need your urgent donations to save their lives. Thank you.
