The second anniversary of the 3/11 disaster is coming up, and many people will be considering how best to observe the occasion. On March 10th Russell Trott will run the Kyoto Marathon to raise funds for Fukushima kids. All monies raised will go towards a camp near Kyoto organized by Go! Go! Waku Waku. There the kids will be able to escape the worst affected areas of Fukushima for a little while and play outside without fear of radioactive hotspots. You can see 
pictures from a past camp here.
Please help with a donation if you can and spread the good word.
Here’s the link to Russell’s Indiegogo campaign. Perks are available for your donations.

Numbers are limited, therefore runners enter a lottery to participate months in advance – so you are a bit late for this year. You can find everything you need to know about the marathon here: http://www.kyoto-marathon.com/ And the course is here: http://www.kyoto-marathon.com/course/
