Running to save lives

Rs 208,835 Raised

Hi! My name is Loren - 38 years old - Wife and mom of 2 living in Tamarin. I've been running for many years now but haven't completed my bucket list dream of a full Marathon. Now having been given the opportunity to run the Paris Marathon on the 3rd April 2022, I knew I had to give back in some way or other. So I chose two causes very close to me.

I will run for ALOPECIA AWARENESS. 147 million people worldwide have or will develop alopecia areata (an auto immune disease) at some point in their lives but still this disease is so unknown to many. I want to show those suffering from the disease that although it is emotionally heart breaking to go through you can rise above it and still accomplish your dreams. Dig deep. Find the person you are within. And Shine.

I will also run for SACIM – Society for Aid to Children Inoperable in Mauritius. This NGO was founded in 1967. To date they have treated 907 children - 11 locally and 896 abroad.

This NGO is close to my heart because my son James was born with a rare heart condition called tetralogy of fallot. We were one of the lucky ones when his life was saved via open heart surgery in India by a team of amazing medical staff on the 17th October 2018. As a mom of a heart baby I know first-hand the medical expenses needed so I would like to raise as much funds as possible for SACIM so they can continue to help the children of Mauritius and Rodrigues.
All funds will go directly to SACIM so let’s go for Rs10,000 a Kilometre!

*A special thanks to Tom Armstrong for making this dream a reality!

*A special thanks to Tailwind Nutrition Mauritius for fuelling me through my training and race day!

    All kids need is a little help, a little hope and somebody who believes in them.
