Great Wall of China Marathon

Hi! My name is Omama Marzuq and I am planning on running the Great Wall of China Marathon in 2014.The cause that I will be running for The Malala Fund. The Malala FundThere are 600 million adolescent girls in the developing world. They are an undeniable force for social and economic impact. But only if given the opportunity. Around the world, girls are denied a formal education because of social, economic, legal and political factors. And in being denied an education, society loses one of its greatest and most powerful resources. The Malala Fund aims to change that. Education empowers girls to raise their voices, to unlock their potential, and to demand change. The Malala Fund's solutions are grounded in inspired innovation: they are girl-centric approaches to education that support the Fund's goal of creating a world where every girl reaches her true potential. For more information go to: http://www.malalafund.org/ Why is this an important cause for me to donate to: I see the power & knowledge that education can give to someone. Also, when we educate women, we are educating a community. And by educating a community, more lives can be saved from diseases, wars, hunger. Education is the key to Opportunity. Think of all the amazing possibilities that world will have once we educate our youth, our women, our communities. Thank You in advance for your generous donations. Much appreciated. Run Towards Education. Run Towards Knowledge. Run Towards Opportunity.
