Liverpool Santa Dash 2011
Now that Running2Rwanda has finished, and the RunLiverpool Marathon has been and gone, the athletics world can focus on its next major event - the Liverpool Santa Dash 2011.
Yes, it's back. The Liverpool Santa Dash is the biggest and best Fun Run in the UK, if not the world!
It may be a Fun Run to most people, but to us it's serious - it's another chance to raise much-needed funds for Shyira Trust to support their projects in Rwanda. I have run the Liverpool Santa Dash every year since it started - sometimes running it twice! This year we'll have a team of 12 running for our charity. As usual, we're fund-raising for Midwifery and Safe Motherhood projects in a country with one of the highest maternal and neo-natal death rates in the world.
But if you think you can't make a difference, think again - Robinah, our first sponsored midwife, qualified in 2009. There were no maternal deaths in Shyira in 2010 - the first time this had ever happened. And there have been none in 2011.

Fidele qualifies this year, and between them they have made a huge difference. Between us, WE can make a difference. Even a couple of pounds can save a life. So dig deep, and make a donation at our fundraising page.
We have no overheads, so every penny raised at the Liverpool Santa Dash 2011, and every other fund-raiser, goes to the project it was intended for – and if you are a UK taxpayer, giving Gift Aid consent will boost your donation.
On behalf of the team at the Liverpool Santa Dash, and the people of Shyira, Thank you for your support.
