why africa? there are two reasons...

1) To fundraise and support sustainable educational projects in Africa. The continent's downward cycle of poverty, famine and disease has wreacked havoc on all facets of African society. However, the benefit of education can help future African generations alleviate their problems.

2) To simply show people that it can be done.

Sure, there are areas of Africa that are unsafe to travel, but every major urban center in the developed world has 'no go' zones.

SEE-THEM-RUN will demonstrate that Africa too is a place where real people live real lives, and where, if you want to go for a 4200km jog, you are more than welcomed to.
