Running for Yemen- 30 mile ultramarathon
Donation protected
My name is Michelle Nino Aljarmouzi and I’m a Personal Trainer in Cardiff. I am running 30 miles in the hills North of Cardiff and hoping to raise money for people in need in Yemen.
This country has 4 out of 5 people living in poverty and has suffered from ongoing conflict and instability since 2011. The government in the capital is not recognised by other countries so this makes it very hard to visit and it has been forgotten by the world. The only thing you may hear on the news is about the issues in the Red Sea, not about 70% of the population living with poverty, unemployment, hunger and lack of access to healthcare (which is expensive there). Food prices have increased massively over the past couple of years too- adding to the many issues faced.
I have contacts in the capital Sanaa and I can organise for money raised to be spent in the best way possible- for those in the most need of help. I can update here on how any funds are spent. I will transfer the fund to my brother in
law Nashwan who will then be able to distribute it directly.
I will be running for many hours but whilst doing so I always remember the people who are in bad situations in the world as I don’t want my struggle to be self indulgent- I would like to do some good too ❤️
