I am running the Brussels20km race for the 4th year as a way to raise awareness and funds for GiraffeProject -providing sponsorship and support for the education of children living in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya.

I have been supporting the GiraffeProject (http:\\www.giraffeproject.org) 
for many years. I know the founders Denise & Richard Baines personally as well as the current board and I have been in Nairobi, Kenya in 2012 in person - working for 2 weeks in the Kibera and Mathare slums - to see for myself how large the need is and how GiraffeProject is doing a very good job in providing educational opportunities through sponsorship of children and youth, health support, teacher education  and by building up the Giraffe Education Center. 

My goal this year is to raise 1.000 Euros - which is 50 Euro per km. All the costs for joining and carrying out the race will be covered by myself, so that all funds go directly and 100% to the charity.
