“I’m running the marathon and the money I raise will help to build a school in Sri Lanka. In July I am going there myself and I will be volunteering at the site”. “I am very excited about the marathon, but also being able to go to Sri Lanka afterwards to see first hand where the money is being spent will be a very rewarding experience” Said Joe

70% of funds raised will go to the charity “Rebuilding Sri Lanka” The Asian tsunami on the 26th December 2004 killed over 40,000 people in Sri Lanka. Over a million people were left homeless. Thousands were destitute. “Rebuilding Sri Lanka” has been active since the day of the disaster and continues to provide support, rehabilitation, nutrition, education and shelter to those affected by the disaster. 30% of funds raised will go to Bridport Runners ~ an amateur athletic club that helps runners of all ages to compete in cross country and track events with coaching and friendly support. www.rebuildingsrilanka.org.uk |
