Amy's Grizzly Run for Tenaganita
Donation protected
Hello everybody!
So for some reason a few months ago I thought it’d be a good idea to sign up for the Grizzly and unfortunately I managed to get a place.
‘What is the Grizzly?’ you ask. Good question. Its a run in March that is 20 miles long, winding along the lovely Jurassic coastline of the UK. There will be hills, there will be mud, there will be more hills, there will most definitely be tears and knowing the South West of England there will probably be rain. ‘Why are you doing it Amy?’. Another good question.
To keep me grinning and bearing through my training and also during the race, I’ve decided to do a spot of fundraising. I’m raising money for a Malaysian non-profit organisation: Tenaganita.
Tenaganita is a Malaysian human rights organisation that primarily works with women, children, migrant workers, refugees, and trafficked persons. It’s mission is to promote a culture where equality and human rights for all are embraced, valued and protected. It is an organisation that my dearest friend Katrina Maliamauv is heavily involved with and it works towards something that I am passionate to support. Tenaganita has very little money and at this point in time is struggling with resources to provide assistance to those that need it. Every penny that is used by this organisation counts towards so much - running a shelter for women and children who were trafficked, supporting refugee and migrant organisations, rescuing trafficked persons, providing legal aid, working to change laws to better protect rights - and countless actions to meet it’s mission. It is an organisation I would like to work with in the future so I am keen to help it any way I can.
Any donation is massively appreciated, big or small, and the money and support will go further than you or I can imagine. If you’d like any more information on Tenaganita, give me a shout and I’ll forward some stuff onto you.
ALSO, to make this endeavour the ever-more exciting I’m thinking of keeping you all updated with my training adventures, so watch this space for some amusing pictures and thoughts while the struggle remains real for my Grizzly training...
Thank you so so so SO much for any support!
