Vitality North London Half Marathon · 20 March 2016 ·
Hello all,
A group of us teaching staff at St. Mary Magdalene Academy have decided to run the North London Vitality Half Marathon on the 20th March 2016 for Wateraid.
Every year our students get a chance to vote for their chosen charity in our very own school charity election. This year Wateraid won and we have already began participating in various events to reach our target of a whopping £5000!
Following the huge success of the staff cycle from Cambridge to London, we have decided to run the North London half marathon this year. Many of us are still in our early stages of training...but we hope to raise as much as we can to donate to Wateraid.
WaterAid works in partnership with local organisations in 37 countries in Africa, Asia, Central America and the Pacific region to help poor communities establish sustainable water supplies and latrines close to home, and to promote safe hygiene practices. It also works to influence government water and sanitation policies to serve the interests of vulnerable people and to ensure water and sanitation are prioritised in poverty reduction plans. The poorest groups, such as women or disabled people, often miss out on water and sanitation services and hygiene promotion, affecting their health and prospects and marginalising them even further. Donations from appeals, events and funding partnerships provide the vital resources to carry out their work.
So please donate as much as you can for this great charity and think of the teachers who are training as well as marking and planning etc!
