A 12 strong team of runners are aiming to raise tens of thousands of dollars to support our work, when they compete in this year\u2019s TCS New York Marathon, in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group will join a field of 50,000 competitors this year\u2019s New York race, which remains the biggest marathon in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event, which plots a course through all five of New York\u2019s boroughs, takes place in the Big Apple on Sunday, November 5th next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To date, members of Team Self Help Africa have raised over $22,000 in sponsorship to support their efforts, but will be canvassing friends, family and colleagues as the countdown to the event gathers pace. They are hoping to raise a total of over $50,000 with their combined efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A big shout out to the amazing volunteers who have signed up to support Self Help Africa at this year\u2019s event. They include Shannon Nolan, an educator; Ben Colling, a dad of three from Chicago, Martin Gayle, Caroline Barkley, Tom Camargo and David Newhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also on the roster are Will Miller, who\u2019s familiar with Self Help Africa\u2019s work from his time living in Kenya, Barnie Moul, who signed up for the event as a personal challenge, researcher Aidan Burns, Malawian born New Yorker Sangwani Mabhena, Michele Marincci and Conor Graham.\u00a0 Our thanks and best wishes to them all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
