Join me in supporting Relief Aid as I take on the challenge of running a 55km ultra-marathon in the Bromont Ultra trail series! Relief Aid is a dedicated organization committed to providing essential aid and support to those in need. Your contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful impact in their efforts to bring relief to communities facing challenges.
As I push my limits on the trails, your support will help Relief Aid push boundaries in making a positive difference. Every step I take is fueled by the collective strength of those who contribute to this cause. Together, we can make a significant impact and bring relief where it's needed the most.
Please consider making a donation to support Relief Aid's crucial work. Your generosity is greatly appreciated, and anything you can contribute will go a long way in making a positive impact. Thank you for being a part of this journey and for helping make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
About the Organization:
ReliefAid is an international humanitarian organization with a vision of saving lives and alleviating suffering of people affected by armed conflict and natural disasters through independent and impartial humanitarian action.
accessing conflict-affected countries, such as Syria, Ukraine and Afghanistan in areas where few aid agencies are able or willing to operate
providing life-saving aid, such as shelter materials (blankets, tarpaulins, cooking sets and children’s clothing), food and medical supplies to families in war zones and those affected by natural disasters who otherwise wouldn’t receive any assistance
working directly on the ground, in the places aid is most needed and least accessible
supporting children in their education, providing hope for the future
mentoring the next generation of aid workers
speaking out on behalf of the men, women and children whose voices are often silenced by conflict
ReliefAid’s actions are driven by the principle of independence and impartiality. Our life-saving humanitarian action is provided on the basis of need, irrespective of religious and political beliefs, race and gender.
ReliefAid relies solely on private donations. We do not receive any funding from governmental sources and are a registered charity with the New Zealand Charities Commission.
Why ReliefAid is effective
ReliefAid has the experience and networks to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance where it is most needed, in places where other aid organizations cannot or will not operate.
ReliefAid has proven experience – we have successfully provided humanitarian assistance in conflict zones since 2015.
We have proven experience in warzones and natural disasters – our staff has successfully delivered humanitarian assistance in Syria, Yemen, South Sudan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkmenistan, Turkey and Ukraine.
We have existing networks – we have the ability to immediately mobilize on-ground networks to reach those inaccessible to other aid organizations.
Direct action – we are directly involved in the delivery of our humanitarian assistance overseeing all operations.
Why war zones?
Despite fewer wars being experienced globally an intensification of violence has led to a larger number of people being displaced from their homes.
Over 100 million people are currently displaced due to conflict with civilian populations overwhelmingly paying the price.
Those displaced are often isolated, vulnerable and without the services required for basic life support.
Support from the international community has in some cases provided relief but needs greatly outstrip the support being provided.
