What is it?
Jono is running London Marathon on Sunday 2nd October 2022
Why?
I am doing it all to raise money for Livingstone Tanzania Trust. I hope my fundraising efforts can improve and sustain a fun and exciting education for as many children as possible in Tanzania.
What do the charity do?
In 2022 the school will take on Standard 5 and at the moment there are no classrooms for them to study in. So we need to raise funds to build and fitout a double classroom to accommodate this new intake. In fact we need to add 3 double classrooms over the next 3 years to meet the demand as the schools grows to its full potential. But one step at a time….
Like all buildings the classroom will be made up of hundreds of cement bricks and other building and fitout materials. Every brick will be crucial to the success in providing these children with a safe space to learn. We will be asking lots of people to donate towards the total. The community will also be contributing materials and labour, it is a partnership.
How can you help?
A cement brick costs £0.60
A bag of cement costs £5.50
A roofing sheet costs £9.65
A school desk costs £31.00
A teachers desk and chair costs £68.97
A rainwater tank costs £500
A metal window frame costs £51.72
Charity Football match
Saturday 18th June @ Greenbank High School
8am - 5pm
Our coaches have committed to playing 9 hours non stop of football, but now we need teams to play football against. Each team will need 5 players more if you wish to have subs and to pay a charity donation per team. Players must be 16+. 50 minute match. Pick a time slot on the hour.
In 2019 we were proud to raise over £1400 for Jude’s Wish to Walk charity by hosting an 9 hour football marathon. Our coaches competed against 9 different teams within the time made up of friends, parents & teachers.
This year WE ARE BACK! Probably less fit, certainly we have played a lot less football but just as keen to raise as much money as possible.
In October I (Jono) is running the London Marathon to raise money for Livingstone Tanzania Trust. A small charity who raise money to improve and provide education in Tanzania. All the money raised will go towards this fundraising effort.
We hope it can be another great day to not just play in but come and watch and also be part of of making a difference to the lives of the children in Tanzania.
