Run For Zimbabwe
Four guys. Four boards. One cause.
This June 5 – June 20 four European friends, Alex, Raif, Alfred and Peter, will “run” their longboards the length of Ireland. Why may you ask? To raise awareness about Zimbabwe’s crisis and raise support for EF’s partners at Albert Street School! In their own words:
“We are longboarding given that it’s a great thing to do. We toured Germany in 2008 just like that, and met numerous people who approached us being fascinated by our journey. Oftentimes these people would ask us about our motivation for traveling like that, and we could only answer we were simply fascinated by this way of traveling, not really thinking about why we were doing it.
This year, as we tour Ireland, we felt like doing more than just longboarding Ireland for ourselves. We wanted to take the pain and reach our physical limits for another reason—to create awareness for the people of Zimbabwe.
Assuming that only half of the people we meet during the tour ask us about a reason or cause for our journey, talk to us about our issues, visit run4zimbabwe.com or simply tell their friends about our little project, we felt that we could contribute to making people aware of the circumstances currently prevailing in Zimbabwe.”
The Elias Fund is excited to join with these adventurous individuals. You can learn more details about their ride here: Run For Zimbabwe. And if so moved, you can support the guys’ efforts by contributing through our donation link just to the right on this page. All donated money will go directly to the support of the Albert Street School. Please write “run4zimbabwe” in the comment field if you make a donation. Thanks!
SO RAD! I love it
THANK YOU GUYS!
Thanks Erin! We are looking forward to push our boards soon!
