British Marathon Runner Mr David Stacey has volunteered to run the 32nd London Marathon on 21st April 2013 on behalf of young and disabled children in Sri Lanka. His plan is to raise a substantial sum of money entirely for disabled Sri Lankan children and other poor children who are less privileged than children in the UK.

This event is being co-ordinated by Ken and Elizabeth Hartley in Ashton Hayes, Chester who have visited Sri Lanka on several occasions with their friend Dr M.B.Ranatunga after collecting information about Sri Lanka. They have fallen in love with the beauty, culture and the people of the country. Later Ken and Elizabeth have initiated several projects in Sri Lanka including the ongoing ‘Foster Hartley Project’ for many years. Psychiatric Consultant Ranatunga who is also a dedicated social worker and patriot lives in Stockport, Manchester has encouraged and supported throughout Ken Hartley to continue these social and charity work in their chosen areas in Sri Lanka.

They are planning to continue to help needy and under privileged children and rural schools in offering their money, materials and valuable time in many worthy causes in Sri Lanka. This time they have decided to include their representative, marathon runner David Stacey for one of the great marathons in the world, ‘the London Marathon’ and planning to raise funds with a great success.

The organisers kindly request everyone to support and encourage Mr David Stacey in his magnanimous gesture by donating generously toward this Project.
