Running For Relief- PNG Earthquake

After finding out about the shocking and widespread disaster in the Heart of the Highlands of Papua New Guinea by the massive earthquake and subsequent aftershocks that struck in February, I instantly felt compelled to do something to help my PNG wontoks. I will be attempting to run a marathon in April to raise funds or Care Australia to assist in rebuilding the communities that are most challenged.
These people now have no food as the gardens the nourish them were ripped away in the landslides, no drinking water as the rivers that bring life were diverted by the earthquake and no shelter as their houses were either destroyed or the entire village has to be relocated due the the eminent danger of more earthquakes. They are lacking not just 1 basic necessity of life, but all 3!
Many people I know and am proud to call my friends have lost everything or worse and the stories of the hardships I have heard has broken my heart. I will be pushing myself to the limit to try restore some life to the wonderful and kind people who have suffered the most.
Even the slightest help you can give will have profound effects by supplying food and water to those starving and giving them the chance to rebuild their homes and communities.
