what LAST are doing now in order to raise awareness.
"What is Freedom Ticket for Life?
Every year thousands and thousands of girls are trafficked.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
The longer a girl is in education, the less vulnerable she is to being trafficked. When she is in school, she is in a safe environment and on finishing, she has more choices.
You can be a part of preventing trafficking. By either donating or raising £15+, you can take part in a run and raise vital funds to help keep girls in education.
Your valuable donation and/or sponsorship will go to one of four projects working to support girls in trafficking hot spots around the world. You can choose which one you’d like to donate to so click here to read more about what they do.
What, when, where?
LAST has teamed up with STOP THE TRAFFIK – an international anti-trafficking organisation – and Park Run – a national running club – to bring you the Freedom Ticket for Life Run in Leeds.
To participate in the run all you need to do is register.
Registration is £15 and includes a fairly traded STOP THE TRAFFIK t-shirtwhich will be given to you at the start of the run.
If you are able to gather sponsorship money in addition to this then please do! The more money we raise, the more girls we can support. Click here for a sponsorship form.
