A charity that provides caravan holidays to disadvantaged families across the country hopes to provide as many as 1,600 breaks in 2010.
In order to achieve its goals, the Family Holiday Association is looking for fundraisers to enter the Malta Marathon or Half Marathon.
Taking place on February 28th 2010 the event has been part of the organisation’s activities for the past three years.
“Family holidays are a rare chance for us to spend quality time together – something that would greatly benefit vulnerable families who never have that opportunity,” said team member David Burling.
He urged Brits to join him in the race to help provide a vacation for some of the country’s neediest families.
Accommodation and transport are being arranged by sports tour specialist Teamlink Travel, which will also provide advice and support for runners through their training.
Applicants hoping to obtain a Family Holiday Association break must be on low income, not have been on vacation for four years, have at least one child aged three or more and have been referred by a welfare agent.
