Humanity Direct
Too many children suffer or die from a lack of medical care simply because their families can't afford the treatment they need. We want to change that by enabling donors to directly fund life saving and life changing operations for children in developing countries.
Spectator Info
This is a fantastic event for spectators, who can create a great race atmopshere for the competitors.
Humanity Direct recommend that spectators base themselves at one of the four checkpoints. With the best spot being the quintessential Chiltern village of Chalfont St Giles.
