Lighthouse Relief Solidarity Run

We're running 37.7km on September 21 (World Peace Day!) to raise money for Lighthouse Relief to mark their 10 year anniversary. They work in Greece to support people seeking refuge in Ritsona and Malakasa -- two of the largest refugee camps in Europe. Our run will start at Ritsona and take us all the way to the Sama Community Center, near the Malakasa camp, to show solidarity with asylum seekers and refugees.

These camps are isolated, located in remote industrial areas with limited access to public transportation. These environments are oppressive and leave people in vulnerable and stressful situations where they are often exposed to violence.

Lighthouse Relief's Sports and Safe Spaces programme exists to provide access to activities that support the wellbeing of residents, especially women and children.
