HERE'S THE STORY:

New York City Marathon: “ingen over, ingen på siden af, få I nærheden af…”

Den 7. November 2010 vil jeg løbe ING New York City Marathon , verdens største løbebegivenhed, og jeg er super stolt over at min deltagelse vil gavne Sanctuary for Families.

Sanctuary for Families (SFF) er en førende velgørenhedsorganisation i New York som dedikeret hjælper ofrer for samlivsvold, ofre for menneskehandel samt deres børn. I USA, vil ca. 1 ud af 4 kvinder opleve vold i hjemmet i løbet at sit liv. Undersøgelser viser at vold ikke alene rammer faderen eller moderen, men også de børn som vokser op med vold i hjemmet. SFF’s mission er at bidrage til at få standset denne onde cirkel. Således bliver tusinder af ofre og deres børn hver år hjulpet til at få opbygget en sikker tilværelse igennem en række ydelser af høj kvalitet.

Jeg har forpligtet mig til at rejse midler til at støtte SSF’s arbejde og jeg beder derfor om hjælp til at nå mit indsamlings-mål. Din donation vil ubeskåret gå til at etablere de tjenester som mange kvinder og børn så desperat har brug for.

Tilmeld dig venligst her og støt formålet sammen med mig. Jeg takker på forhånd for opmærksomheden og støtten, og ser frem til at fejre kampen mod samlevervold op til- og på målstregen den 7. November.

Tak!
