PAGE CREATOR: Emily Burgess
EVENT: RUN Auckland - Milford
EVENT DATE: 30/5/2010

In December I went to Zambia with ChildFund to meet children living with disabilities.

I was shocked and saddened by what I saw.

In this very rural area at least 345 children have been identified with special education needs caused by disability.

Unbelievably there are no schools in the area for children with disabilities.

This means that these children are not going to school - every child should have a right to education!

On Sunday May 30th I will be running the 10km Milford Reserve course which is part of the Auckland Run Series.

My aim is to raise at least $1000 to help build a school for children with disabilities in Zambia and your support is very much appreciated

I know this school will go a long way to helping children with disabilies.

Please help by sponsoring me - a little will go a long way.

Check this one out - "Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character."
-- T. Alan Armstrong.
