March 23 News Sheet – Running for CotD

Perhaps the most inspiring fundraising story has been about 9 year old Zac here in the UK. He heard a talk about the work of Children of the Dump and decided after talking to his Grandma that he wanted to help. What’s more, after talking to his grandad, he decided to push himself with a real challenge. With no previous experience of running he decided to do a 5 km run. Not once, but on 5 consecutive weekends. It hasn’t been easy, and Zac had to work hard to prepare but now the picture shows him raring to go on week 3 with his dad and brother in support and he has raised a ton of money to fund education for the children. What an inspiring story!
