Isabella is running the London Marathon to raise funds to help us continue our work in Colombia.
Isabella is a Colombian-American engineer living in Texas. She has won world-renowned scholarships, as well as working for NASA. This has driven her to dedicate many years to advocating for the importance of education, especially for women in STEM.
By running the London Marathon, she hopes to raise $4,000 for our project with Misión Gaia to help support vulnerable, indigenous and migrant children in Colombia.
Why is Isabella running the London Marathon?
As a keen runner preparing for her first marathon, Isabella felt inspired to contribute back to her home country. With the funds raised from her race, she hopes to create new opportunities for kids in Colombia. Speaking to Isabella, she said:
“I hope to inspire young girls to pursue their dreams and overcome their barriers. And this is why the project ‘Misión Gaia’ and this cause are so close to my heart. With your help, we can make education a right, not a privilege, for many children in need in Colombia!“
Feeling inspired?
It´s thanks to the fundraising efforts of our supporters that we continue to protect and support thousands of Colombia’s most vulnerable children. Whether you want to run, walk or create your own challenge, we have plenty of fundraising opportunities that anyone and everyone can get involved with.
