E is a talented marathon runner from Sudan. He is a resident in the former hotel that we support in Edinburgh. He runs nearly every day around the city. And he doesn't have proper running shoes.
He just casually mentioned to us that he runs and when we asked how far and he said 25-40 we thought minutes - he meant kilometres!
People living in former hotels receive less than £10 a week. A day bus ticket is over £5. He can't possibly save up enough money to buy running shoes so we would like to do that for him.
He will be able to take part in the many free events around the city and build his network, develop his English skills and continue to benefit from the wellbeing effects of keeping fit and well.
Normally we try to make sure that as many people as possible benefit from what we do, but in this case our support can make a transformative difference to one person so we are trying to raise money to buy him some shoes so that he can start to participate regularly in running events and possibly join a club.
