Why Run with Charity Right?

Your marathon is more than a challenge. It’s a chance to feed children and keep them learning.

By running in aid of Charity Right, you’ll raise vital funds for school meal programmes helping children in Palestine, Pakistan, Malawi and other vulnerable communities worldwide. For many children, a daily meal at school is the difference between attending class or staying home, between falling behind or moving forward.
