The war continues...
I watch the new broadcasts with a sense of horrified resignation. How can so many people suffer so badly? It is almost unimaginable, but it is still happening. The war is in fact spreading. Iraq too is being torn apart, as is Yemen and many other places. An entire region is in pain.
All I can do is watch and maybe, do a few small things to help those who survive. I think especially for the children. My life has been tough but nothing on the the kind of scale that these poor people have seen. Children are being frozen to death, chased across borders by Hungarian border guards and abused in camps in western Europe. I will ashamed of my own government. Even three thousand vulnerable young people seem to be too much effort for them.
So I decided I would do what I could to raise a few funds and even more importantly, awareness for the plight of these kids. I am running on 24th May 2017 in the Westonbirt 10K race. I have never done this before. I have begun training already and i feel fantastic.
I would feel even better the more that people donate to my fundraising page. That was a hint.
I have been recovering from a serious illness of my own and the running is helping me focus, especially as I will be able to make a immediate impact on other peoples lives. Give something back folks. It will make you feel incredible. I am running for UNICEF but by all means donate or work for whoever you want. But make a difference. Get out there and #JustDoIt #ForTheChildren.
Have a great day. Andy
