Run with a purpose: 7200km for Hope.
Amani Centre for Street Children in Tanzania will be celebrating its 25th anniversary on 25th September 2026.
This event is being planned by Friends of Amani UK (https://www.friendsofamani.co.uk/) and all funds raised will be sent to support the work of Amani in Tanzania.
How to join in
There are a number of ways of joining in this event:
If you are a member of a running club would you be able to get your club to do a run together as a group to raise funds?
If you regularly participate in Park Run, would your local park run group do one of their regular runs as a fundraiser?
Are you part of any other community groups eg. scouts, church etc who would arrange a joint event? Individuals could run just one kilometre or more if they choose!
Could your school do a fundraiser with each child running one kilometre and contributing £1 each
Or you can participate as an individual running whatever distance you choose.
How to donate/ raise funds
The aim is for each participant to raise a minimum of £1 per Kilometre.
