Run for Refugees team raise over £5,000 for Children on the Edge

18/10/2019

 
JOIN THE TEAM
We’re incredibly grateful to our Run for Refugees runners, who have recently raised thousands for our work with some of the most marginalised children in the world. 
 
Our 20-strong team took part in the Chichester Half Marathon event on October 6th, with different runners taking on the full marathon, the relay, ten miler and the nordic walk. Getting sponsored by friends and family for their efforts, together they have now raised over £5,000.

Lucy Hobden said, "I have always wanted to do a half marathon and the Chichester Half seemed like a great first one for me to do. Great atmosphere before and after the race. Was also such a beautiful run at the top of the hill. Children on the Edge is a great charity that goes beyond others by going to places that other charities don't". 

​Not all our runners could make it to Chichester for the Half Marathon Event, but Kim Ozano did not let this deter her from fundraising! Feeling passionate about the challenges faced by refugee families, she decided to create her own alternative challenge of running a marathon a week for a month, raising over £450.

Kim said “ I ran in the countryside, in the city and even on holiday. The great thing about this challenge is that I could fit it in around my daily activities. The challenges faced by refugee families is one I feel passionate about. I was able to raise money for an important cause and got to see beautiful places as I clicked up the miles." ​
