Fundraising for KidsFam Foundation
Donation protected
My name is Andrew Tiernan and I am running the Yokohama Marathon on Sunday 29 October 2023 to raise money for KidsFam.
KidsFam Foundation is an organisation that provides crucial support for severely ill children and their families in Japan, including through Momiji House.
Momiji House is a 'home away from home' for severely ill children, providing moments of joy and respite to parents and children alike.
It is the first of its kind in Japan. The founder, Masayo Kidani, was inspired by the time she spent volunteering at Helen House in Oxfordshire, England, the world's first children's hospice.
My colleagues at Hakluyt Japan and I have partnered with Kids Fam to help raise the foundation's profile and work towards establishing more facilities like Momiji House throughout Japan and in doing so, fulfil the late Kidani-san's dream.
Every donation to KidsFam, big or small, will be greatly appreciated. Please consider giving something via this page (gofundme.com/f/kidsfam-foundation) or the KidsFam homepage: (kidsfam.or.jp/donation) and reference Andrew Yokohama Marathon. Thank you!
