Competing in the Wokingham Half-Marathon, 2010
On Saturday 31 July, Barnes Runner Ben Hirsch will compete in the highest altitude marathon in Europe – The Swiss Alpine Marathon K42 – to raise funds for ‘Sisters of Charity St Vincent de Paul,’ who are undertaking educational projects in Ethiopia. The money he raises will primarily go towards school lunches for the poorer children, many of whom depend on a school meal as their only decent meal for the day. Additionaly, some funds will go towards teacher training and books.
Anything you are able to donate will be greatly appreciated; Ben can confirm that the money genuinely does go to the end cause and even small amounts make a disproportionate difference to these people in a country still victim to poor harvests political issues.
