Throughout 2008 Stuart Ward  has been running marathons to raise awareness of the children's charity  SOS Children's Villages. 
Stuart ran the London Marathon on behalf of SOS Children for the 3rd year in succession. Last year he ran for the children his sister Gail met in  Belarus and to raise awareness of the 21st anniversary of Chernobyl.  This year he is inspired by Gail's visit to Rwanda which people will have seen featured in Ewan McGregors 'trip'.
Here's a list of the planned Marthons - look out for the SOS Chidren gold vest and give Stuart a BIG cheer..... and please donate as generously as you can.  The NEXT marathon to be run is the last one this year HASTINGS on Sunday 14th December - so please  support Stuart......

SOS Children's villages help orphaned and abandoned children throughout the world - in many countries that you may visit on holiday!  At the moment SOS Children's Villages are helping look after child refugees who are very scared and traumatised. They have lost their homes and have experienced violent riots, or floods, or war. Their parents are either missing or have been killed and in many cases it is not clear whether or not the children have any relatives that could take care of them.
