Campaign by Street Child (RCN 1128536)

Story

Next month, I will be returning to Sierra Leone to take part in the half marathon for Street Child, a non-profit organisation that helps vulnerable children in some of the poorest and most remote areas of the world.

I've been a supporter of Street Child for over 12 years now, and their mission is very close to my heart. The team works tirelessly in the toughest conditions and is thrilled that we are coming back to support them again.

I believe that every child deserves a chance to get an education and live a life free from poverty and exploitation. The Street Child blueprint in Sierra Leone has been so successful that it has been replicated to help people all across the world. Their programmes empower families to care for and educate their children in the long term. This, in turn, creates a better future for children and their communities.

I'm reaching out to you because I need your help in reaching my fundraising goal. Every little bit helps, and whatever amount you can give will make a difference in the lives of these children. Your generosity will directly support Street Child's programmes and help create a brighter future for these children.

I appreciate your support more than you know. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of these children. Thank you so much for your help and for being such wonderful friends!
