Run through centuries of history in one of the most scenic city runs in the world, seeing sites such as Buckingham Palace, the London Eye and Big Ben.

If you need a little more persuading or just want to know more about the work we do read on...

With donations from people like you, Whisper provides a beautiful, inspiring temporary home for severely neglected children who are often on the edge of death when they arrive. They are nursed back to health, given an education and where possible returned to live with members of their extended family with ongoing support. With your help we can work with more children like these.

We also run two thriving schools for 120 small children some of whom had no access to education before we arrived. With your help we can educate more children.

Whisper's medical program has cleared a wide area of jiggers which is a common, disabling and much neglected medical problem. With your help we can continue this work and help avoid repeat infections by providing training and long-term improvements of sanitation and hygiene.

Whisper has so many plans and hopes for the future. With your help we can make these happen.

100% of the money you raise will go to Whisper's projects.

• Whisper's admin and other fundraising costs have all been covered by an individual donor.
• Sign up to run with us here.
• If you are unable, unwilling or just not mad enough to run a half marathon, please see our 'how you can help' section of our website for other ways to support us and please tell your friends.
