Vale MP to run marathon to help Barnardo’s children’s charity
VALE MP Alun Cairns will be fundraising for Barnardo’s in his 11th London Marathon, which is on Sunday, 23rd April.
He is running for Barnardo’s, who support and protect children and young people facing a wide range of issues, from drug misuse to disability, from sexual abuse to domestic violence. The charity was selected following a request from the local Barnado’s committee in Cowbridge.
So far, he has raised over £80,000 for local charities through previous London Marathons.
Mr Cairns said: “It is a privilege to work and support Barnado’s. I know first-hand of the differences they make locally. Young people face so many pressures and Barnardo’s are always on hand to help in the quietest and most discrete way.
“The Barnardo’s team in the Vale deserves a special mention. They do a lot of life-changing work across the area. The local Barnado’s supporting committee are always on hand to raise money, and I pay tribute to them for their continued activity in the community.
“I appreciate that many calls are made in favour of worthwhile causes, if you are able to extent your generosity to help this charity it would mean a lot.”
