Fundraising for Abandoned Street Kids of Brazil - Task Brasil
Story
Amsterdam, Nepal and now London!
Despite vowing never to run again after the torture that was the Amsterdam marathon, I've been inspired by 'Task Brazil' to get my trainers out!
I'm pretty sure many of you are thinking, is this girl crazy?! (I'm setting up this page at the airport on my way back from Everest Base Camp!). But when I found out Task Brazil were looking for runners, I knew I had to be one of them.
'Task Brazil' is a charity that helps get abandoned children off of the streets in Brazil - giving them hope for the future. There are many terrifying realities that force children out of their homes: domestic violence, being orphaned or abandoned, or simply belonging to dysfunctional families. By donating you'll be helping to educate these children, ensuring their future happiness and wellbeing.
If you're interested, you can find out more on the website here: http://www.taskbrasil.org.uk
So please can dig deep and donate generously. 75p is all it costs to fed a child for the day, so every penny really does make a difference. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
Thank you for taking the time to read this - and for your generosity. I hope to see you all on race day! I can guarantee I'll be an emotional wreck- but feel free to come along and point and laugh at my expense!
Lots of love,
