Belfast City Marathon Walk raises £1,265 for Bishops’ Appeal
The Revd Elizabeth Hanna and the Revd Mellissa Jeffers completed the Belfast Marathon 8 mile walk on 1 May and raised £1265 for Bishops’ Appeal.
In particular their marathon efforts will support Christian Aid in their work with communities in Honduras. Funds raised will help families who live in the dry corridor become more resilient to climate change through new agricultural practices, rainwater harvesting and drip irrigation and improved nutrition.
Mellissa and Elizabeth said: “Thank you to all who supported this effort, cheered us on our way, and to Lydia Monds, Bishops’ Appeal Education Advisor, for her encouragement.”
