Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. This is my first ever half marathon after years of refusing to even get on the treadmill! I would never have thought about running a half marathon but Penny Appeal have done such amazing work all around the world how can I not get involved. 

Have a look below at some of the plans which Penny Appeal have with the donations YOU give. Please dig deep to support and I'll dig deep to keep running!!!!

Emergency Response

The funds you raise are absolutely critical in our ability to act fast during a crisis. War, famine, disease, poverty & climate change have immobilised communities in Myanmar, Syria, Yemen, Gaza, Indonesia  and East Africa, and Penny Appeal need your support to be able to deploy life-saving medical aid, food, clothing, sanitation and shelter to those who've been left incredibly vulnerable.

Our teams are currently providing support in:

Sudan – thousands flee from brutality and displaced in their own country

South Africa – 750 lives lost after a deadly cyclone hit Mozambique, Zimbabwe and parts of Malawi.

Indonesia - Over 2000 people have lost their lives, after the coastal city of Palu was rocked by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake.

Syria and neighbouring countries - where refugees are battling to survive.

Yemen - where civilians are targeted amidst conflict, faced with famine and struggling to receive medical treatment for Choler.

Myanmar - where Rohingya communities are being persecuted

Palestine - where people are living amid conflict.

Bangladesh - Sunamganj Floods and providing essential aid to Rohingyan refugees

Areas affected by the famine in East Africa, such as Somalia, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya.
