Fair Enough Stuff and Turncoat Annie in the Great North Run

Hannah from Fair Enough Stuff and Sarah from Turncoat Annie, are running the Great North Run on September the 19th. It's a scary prospect being as neither of them have run further than 10k before but it'll be a fab challenge and a lovely way to see a bit of Newcastle! Hannah is running for the development charity CAFOD. Here's a bit more information about them:

CAFOD's works in over 40 countries across the world including the West Bank and Gaza where they work with local organisations to provide emergency relief, counselling and legal services to people whose homes are being threatened. Sudan where they work on projects that tackle the spread of HIV, provide clean water and education. Sierra Leone and Liberia where, following civil war, 80% of people live below the poverty line and have a life expectancy of just 34 years old, where they support local partners who focus on post-conflict rehabilitation in particularly for young people.

In every £1 donated 76p goes directly to support the projects, 12p is used for education and campaigning to tackle the causes of global poverty, 11p is invested to generate a future income and 1p is used for administration costs.
