How your money will help!
UNICEF is the world’s leading organisation working for children and their rights.
The 2008 Team UNICEF will be raising funds for babies, children and families affected by HIV/AIDS. Almost every minute of every day, a baby is born with HIV, passed on by his or her mother during pregnancy, labour or upon delivery.
The harsh truth is that without treatment, half of all HIV-positive babies will not live long enough to see their second birthday; and a third will not even live beyond a year. The good news is that we can prevent babies getting HIV from their mothers.
Our Born Free from HIV campaign aims to ensure that all pregnant women with HIV receive the right medicine and care to prevent them passing HIV onto their baby.
For further information about the how your fundraising can help change the fate of generations, please visit www.unicef.org.uk/halfmarathon
