My name is Marco, and next summer I’ll be travelling to Morocco for two weeks on a volunteering trip for a cause that means a lot to me. We’ll be working in the Atlas Mountains, helping to rebuild struggling communities by restarting farming-restarting water supplies to homes, planting olive trees etc. across Marrakesh, which has seen some of the worst rates of poverty in recent years. Travelling over as a group, our aim is to give much needed support to some of the poorest communities around Marrakesh.

To help my cause and raise awareness of the poverty in Marrakesh, I will be running the Tatton Park Half Marathon on Sunday 9th November.

Any sort of donation would be much appreciated and would genuinely mean the world to me, and you’d be helping restore hope to families that don’t have running water or any sort of stable life.
