We are running the New Forest Marathon in England to raise funds for Child of Hope.

Adriaan van der Hoeven, recently joined CoH UK on staff and has embraced the challenge of running a full marathon, while never run more than 5K before. Is he going to make it ?

Micah Thomas, an ex-paratrooper with marathon experience, will challenge himself to get a fast time and provide vital support for the other team members during training.

We have room for one or two more members, so let us know if you are up for it.

Our goal is to raise £5,000, a sum that goes very far in Uganda; at least 30 new mothers get the chance to launch a small businesses; secondary students get a better chance to learn as we can purchase 20 tablets for research; and you donation helps cover some essential running costs for Child of Hope in 2026.

Your support can change lives — please donate today and help us bring hope and opportunity where it’s needed most.
