Charity
ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity that specializes in emergency shelter. We help thousands of disaster affected families every year by sending ShelterBoxes. Although the contents of our large green ShelterBoxes will vary depending on the type of disaster we are responding to and where in the world they are being sent, they will generally include a specially designed disaster relief tent, a stove, a kitchen set, water purification equipment, blankets, a toolkit and more. A ShelterBox will provide an extended family of up to 10 people with shelter, warmth and dignity for approximately 6 months. Every donation that we receive will help us provide shelter, warmth and dignity to families across the world who have lost everything due to disaster.

Hi
I'm running the London Marathon on April 22nd. It would be great if you could sponsor me and support ShelterBox.
I was lucky enough to get a ballot place this year so I've chosen a charity that I really want to support. Hopefully raising money for them will make me feel a bit less of a nutter for running 26 miles.
ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity, based in Cornwall, that specializes in emergency shelter.
Before the formation of ShelterBox, humanitarian response in most disasters was in the form of food and medicine. Little or no assistance was being given in terms of safe, secure shelter to help families survive the first days, weeks and months as they try to rebuild their lives. ShelterBox was created to fill this void.
Each large, green ShelterBox is tailored to a disaster but typically contains a disaster relief tent for an extended family, blankets, water storage and filtration equipment, cooking utensils, a stove, a basic tool kit, a children’s activity pack and other vital items.
Please sponsor me if you can. Each donation, however small, will help ShelterBox provide shelter, warmth and dignity to familes across the world who have lost their homes, posessions and livelihoods. And it will make me feel that getting up at 6am three mornings a week to run in the dark and the rain with a head torch and fluorescent pink vest on is not just a midlife crisis.
Thanks
