On 12th May I will be embarking on a run from the Afghanistan border along the Bartang Valley to the edge of the Chinese border through the Roof of the World in Tajikistan.
Approximately 7 marathons in 7 days with 30 other explorers from 6 different nations.
The trails will be hard with plenty of ascent and an altitude of over 14,000 feet (that's half of Everest or nearly 4 Snowdon's). We'll be staying in the homes of locals in remote villages and also wild camping in freezing temperatures. It's not going to be a picnic in the park, that's for sure.
War Child is striving for a world in which no child's life is torn apart by war. They protect, educate and stand up for the rights of children living in war zones.
Every pound will help us to provide the chance for a brighter, happier, and more peaceful future for children living in conflict-affected areas.
By making a donation, you will be making a difference to thousands of children whose lives have been turned upside-down by conflict. You’ll help War Child provide the emergency care and support they need to overcome the emotional and physical toll of conflict, as well as access to services to catch up on lost education that will help to transform their futures for the better.
Thanks, Neil.
