A huge thank you to all the Amos runners who ran in Bethlehem, London, Cape Town, Birmingham and Sheffield in the last 6 weeks. It started in Bethlehem with 10 runners taking part in the Bethlehem 'Right To Movement' Marathon
on Friday 17th March. Then Phill Austen-Reed ran the Two Oceans Ultra Marathon in South Africa, closely followed by Kate Thomas taking part in the Sheffield Marathon. Meanwhile, we have all been following Harry Baker and Mark Rigby who won the opportunity to represent Amos in the
London Marathon
on Sunday 26th March and finally, having just returned from Nicaragua with Amos, Claire Jackson ran in Birmingham to raise money for the communities she had visited. These 15 enthusiastic and determined individuals have raised in excess of £16,000 for Amos Palestine, Amos Street Child
and Amos Communities. As Claire said after she ran this weekend, "Pain is temporary, but the money I raise will change lives forever". So from everyone at Amos, a huge thank you one and all. We have two new features on our website – one from Greenbelt Festival
Creative Director Paul Northup and one from Cambridge-based illustrator Mark Rigby who ran the Bethlehem and London Marathon's respectively. You can read Paul's Feature here
and you can read Mark's here. And finally, just because it's so good, here's a link to Harry Baker's training film
which is still well-worth a look if you haven't seen it before. Please click on the button below to read more about our Palestine and Street Child work – the reasons why everyone was running. And if you would like to join Team Amos, please contact katie@amostrust.org
