My name is Andrew Dunbar and I am a charity runner for HOPE International Development Agency in the 2024 Osaka Marathon. I have never run a marathon before, but when I learned that Hope had been selected as an official charity partner I thought this was a great chance to run my first marathon and support Hope in their efforts to provide access to water to rural communities in Cambodia, Ethiopia, and the Philippines.

Hope is an incredible organization that I have supported personally in the past. In Cambodia they have installed 500 wells and lifted out 15,000 people from poverty. Since 2001, Hope has installed water supply systems in 13 villages in Ethiopia that have brought 27,000 people clean water!

Now, I would like to ask others to make a donation to support me in my marathon challenge and help Hope to bring water to communities in need . Any amount is ok. Hope really makes it count. Hope's rate of donation investiture in their end projects is among the highest of charitable organizations . While I feel the impact of 42.195 kms on me, you will have a great impact on people in need.
