Birthday triathlon
Donation protected
Hello, hope you are all safe and well!!
Tomorrow (Sunday 10th May) is my 22nd birthday and to mark the occasion I am going to be attempting to complete a 'sprint' triathlon - 1.5k swim, 20k cycle, 5k run. Not quite how I envisaged my post-dissertation birthday celebrations, but I want to make the birthday different from just another day in lockdown!
I'm raising money for Street Child, a charity working with some of the world's most vulnerable communities to prevent the spread of coronavirus. For those living in urban slums, refugee camps, and communities affected by war and previous humanitarian disasters, Covid-19 promises to bring untold suffering. Street Child works in countries where the number of ventilators is in single digits, intensive care bed numbers are in double digits, and citizens with underlying health conditions such as HIV are in the millions.
Street Child was right at the fore of the Ebola crisis in 2014, and therefore built up a wealth of life saving knowledge that will help communities to protect themselves from Covid-19.
I know that lots of people are asking for sponsorship during this time and am very conscious that supporting overseas aid is not an option for those who have had their own lives impacted by coronavirus. However, for anyone who is able and would like to, a donation of any size would be so appreciated!! For more info about Street Child's Covid-19 Emergency Appeal: street-child.co.uk/covid-19-appeal .
