Hi everyone, I am running the Manchester Half Marathon in October this year and I am raising money for Child In Need India. CINI are a charity who work alongside deprived women, children and adolescents in India. They work to improve access to health services, nutrition education and child protection. Currently they are providing support for around 7 million vulnerable people living in India. CINI have rescued and protected over 141,078 children who were experiencing child abuse. Over 1 in 2 children between the ages of 2 and 14 have no access to any sort of education at all, that means no safe place away from the streets or abusive homes and no opportunity to learn and experience what should be a given for all children. I lost my grandad around Christmas time last year. He was an incredible man and he did so much with his life. Grandad grew up in India and he was very very fond of his time there. I want to do something to commemorate his life and raise money for something that was so close to him and an important part of who he was. This one’s for you Grandad❤️

I haven’t set a target amount of money to be raised, any donations no matter how big or small are greatly appreciated.
