Local Grenada charity, reachwithin.org, is inviting runners, of all abilities, to register for #RunForGrenada2016. The three-part run takes place on Universal Children’s Day, Sunday, 20 November 2016, and incorporates a Marathon, a 10k run and the Last Mile Fun Run and is raising funds through Crowdrise page: crowdrise.com/runforgrenada2016.

“This is our third year hosting Run For Grenada, a great opportunity for anyone, with a passion for running and cares about the welfare of the youth of Grenada, to help make a difference,” says Karen Lawson, founder of reachwithin.org.

“This years run coincides with Universal Children’s Day established to initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world’s children. Our aims, for #RunForGrenada2016, is to keep conversations around Grenada’s most vulnerable youth on the public agenda, in particular children living in residential care and the challenges faced when transitioning out of the care system.”

“Last year’s run surpassed all our expectations, not only did we accomplish our fundraising goals but we also welcomed Hollywood movie star, Brandon Jay MacLaren. He was so enthused by our campaign he flew into Grenada to take part, such a thrill for a tiny charity. His love for Grenada and his passion for Grenada’s youth shone through and helped to bring much needed attention to our cause.”
