This year, I’m running the Cambridge Half Marathon to support Kids for Kids and the forgotten children of Darfur.

Darfur is in the midst of one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. Children are starving. Mothers walk for hours each day just to find a little water. Families who once relied on their animals for milk and income have lost everything. With conflict and drought destroying livelihoods, malnutrition is at its highest levels in years — and without urgent help, the situation will only get worse.

That’s why your support matters so much. Every donation, no matter the size, will help provide life-saving essentials: nutritious food for malnourished children, emergency fodder for goats so mothers can produce milk again, and sustainable help that gives families a chance to survive and rebuild.
