Thank you for viewing my page. I am returning to Sierra Leone in May 2025 to run a marathon in the town of Makeni in support of Street Child.Yes, returning! I went to Sierra Leone in 2024, and experienced the heat, the confusion, the chaos, the extreme poverty, and yet the resilience and determination of the people there to rise above their circumstances, to achieve, and to succeed. And I witnessed first hand the incredible work done by Street Child, helping to provide the basic right to education to many hundreds of children who otherwise would not have the opportunities that those of us who live in so-called developed nations take for granted.In the image above – one child is learning. One child, that for £30, can be educated for a year. Having seen what can be achieved through the Street Child programmes, and the responsible and sustainable way that donations are applied by SC, it makes me want to do anything I can to enable more children access an opportunity. So that is why I am returning, to run the marathon in the heat and the humidity, and try and make a difference for a few more children. And I would ask for your support – donations small and large, all are appreciated and every penny will benefit a child and give them hope and a future.And as last year, my business, Frederic Smart, will be supporting the efforts by matching all donations received £ for £. Let’s make a difference today!
