What is a charity run?
•As runner, before the run you find as many donors as possible:
friends, relatives, neighbors, companies and/or clubs
•The donors agree to a give a certain amount for each lap you complete (400m),
or simply a lump sum (see form on the back side).
•You as runner decide how many laps to run on the day of the event.
•The money is then collected from the donors and used to finance projects
of the St Jude India ChildCare Centres.
Anyone can sign up: hobby as well as marathon runners, children and teenagers, Nordic
walkers or strollers. What counts are your participation and the financial support!
Everyone is welcome!
Why are the St. Jude ChildCare Centres necessary?
Every year, children, along with their families, travel to large Indian cities from distant
towns and villages, in the hope of being cured of cancer, without knowing what awaits
them. Though they receive the cancer treatment free of charge, they often have no
place to live and end up sleeping on the footpaths outside the hospital, in terribly
unhygienic conditions. Under these conditions, the chances for a successful recovery
from cancer decrease drastically, even with optimal medical treatment. Often it is a
matter of sheer survival.
St Jude India ChildCare Centres in India
The non-profit organization St Jude India ChildCare Centres (www.stjudechild.org) provides
free of cost housing for these children and their parents, along with free nutritional support,
transportation to the hospital, and counseling services – a “home away from home”.
Since the organization began, over 2,000 children and their parents have received this
much needed support!
The Rotary Club Zurich Belvoir International supports St Jude India ChildCare Centres
in the long-term. The run4change donations in 2013 provided CHF 45,000 for three
newly opened Centres in Delhi und Kolkata. With this money, these centres were
completely furnished and equipped with a water treatment system, thereby creating
shelter for an additional 34 families in the new centres. Due to the outstanding success
of current centres, further centres are planned to follow.
Join us in our cause and engage as a runner, company, or sponsor for run4change!
Every donation goes 100% directly to help the St Jude India ChildCare Centres.
New in 2014
We are proud to welcome Tadesse Abraham, two-time winner of the Zurich Marathon
and one of the top favorites for a Swiss medal at the coming 2014 European Athletics
Championships, who is supporting run4change this year. Come and meet him, run a few
laps with him, or pick up some running tips from a professional runner.
We look forward to welcoming you to run4change on April 26th, 2014 at Sihlhölzli!
