Congratulations to Ed and Sam Graham, two of the runners who successfully completed the Royal Parks Half Marathon on behalf of the Global Fund for Forgotten People!
The brothers managed to run it in a speedy one hour 43 minutes. Well done Sam and Ed, and a massive thank you to you both and the rest of the runners for the effort put in to train and fundraise, helping to improve forgotten people’s lives all round the world, from post-Covid rehabilitation in Chile to craft workshops for disabled children in Ukraine.
If you would like to donate to Sam and Ed for their incredible run, please find their Just Giving page here www.justgiving.com/fundraising/samandedgraham
‘The Order has provided food and medicine for my little one which he would not otherwise have access to. I am very thankful!’
Lumi and her son live in a poor and isolated rural community in Albania. Levels of infant and child mortality in Albania are disproportionately high, in rural areas they are twice the rates of cities.
With support from the Fund, The Order of Malta’s new centre in Albania provides food, medicine, classes in hygiene and education on how best to care for children for poor families, fighting disease and malnutrition, and helping families learn how to give their children the best start in life.

It’s simple to enter and the winner will receive their own copies of the cards.
Deadline is Friday 15 October
1. Print copies of this template, and give one to each child.
2. Ask the children to draw a picture from the Christmas Story, using coloured pens.
3. Fill in each child’s name, age and which programme they are participating in.
4. Scan the sheets in colour, and share them in a Facebook status. Make sure you include @TheGlobalFundForForgottenPeople or we will not see them!
5. Drawings must be shared by Friday 15 October to enter the competition.
6. We will announce the winner on social media, and send copies of the cards to the wining programme.
Message our page if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing your creativity!

The Fund supports many elderly projects, helping thousands of people across the world.
From establishing a crisis line, providing companionship and help to isolated elderly people in Romania, to delivering essential supplies and support to vulnerable elderly in Thailand, the Order works every day to make sure the elderly are not forgotten.
