Hi everyone and thanks for being here. I am very honored to be part of a small but mighty team of 2 women who will be running the 2022 Berlin Marathon on behalf of Save the Children. I would love your help in fundraising for an organization that truly makes a difference in the lives of children worldwide.
Here are a few facts about Save the Children that I found really amazing:
- They don’t just go into communities, carry out a project and then move on. They work with communities to develop programs that will sustain meaningful change.
- Through their Children's Emergency Fund, they are working inside Ukraine and at the borders of neighboring countries to support the immediate needs of children and their families fleeing violence in Ukraine.
- In fiscal year 2021, 85% of all expenditures went straight to Save the Children missions. In other words , 85 percent of every dollar donated goes to programs and services for children and families in need.
- They consistently earn top grades from charity watchdog organizations.
For over 100 years, Save the Children has done whatever it takes to create a world where no young child dies from a preventable cause, all children learn from a quality basic education, and violence against children is not tolerated. I hope you will support my efforts by donating to my page today!
