Solidarity Marathon
This idea is shared with us by Nohoune Lèye. He suggests organising a walk or a run to provide support for projects or communities in difficulty. Each participant asks friends or colleagues to give them a certain amount of money for each kilometre they run. Their card is stamped every 2km.
As participants gather, they are welcomed by the organisers, the priest and officials. The participants are checked in. Prayers are said and messages of solidarity read out…
‘No-one can live without hope. By our actions today, we want to give people hope.’
‘We all need the chance to learn a trade. We pray that today the beneficiaries of this project will also have this chance.’
Blow trumpets to start the race and to celebrate God. Provide refreshments every 2km as participants’ cards are stamped.
This is a simple way to show our solidarity with those in need.
