26.2 miles on London's roads for Tipitapa

Congratulations to Dos Pueblos' Board Member Helen Shannon, who just (successfully) ran the London Marathon!

On Sunday, April 13th, Helen and several teammates ran the marathon, raisings funds for Dos Pueblos and The Nicaragua Solidarity Campaign (NSC) by doing so.  The NSC "works in solidarity with Nicaraguan organisations and social movements fighting for social and economic justice by promoting and seeking support for their activities in the UK".  Please visit their website for more information.

Helen completed the race with a teammate in 3 hours, 56 minutes, and 29 seconds, and shared that, "to do all this on behalf of projects to support and strengthen communities in Nicaragua was an honour, and especially important right now since Nicaragua is in the news once again due to a natural disaster - this time a series of earthquake tremors that are rocking the capital.  Thinking of our friends there and sending them our thoughts".

Congratulations to all the runners and thank you for your generosity and commitment!
