Thank you for making the effort to view my page. I have been doing fun runs for the last couple of years but have never set up a fundraising page. So I’ve decided to be a bit more proactive this time round and help raise money for the Elizabeth Chanakira Cancer Trust (ECCT) for my inaugural Melbourne Marathon half marathon (21.1km).
The ECCT was founded by a young Melbourne based Zimbabwean, Teurai Chanakira, after her mum lost a 7 year battle to cancer. The ECCT focus is on marginalised cancer patients and seeks to provide nutritional, educational and medical support as well as to raise cancer awareness in Zimbabwe, my home.
One of the things I could not imagine is ever going hungry so my goal is to raise $600 which would feed a family for 6 months. A healthy body needs good nutrition and this small donation will provide bare necessities for a family that desperately needs it.
