IRT's CEO Adrian on the left and Ryan and Shilpa at the finish of the race. Well done guys!IRT supporters ran the British 10K London Run yesterday to help raise funds for our projects on the Thai-Burma border.The route runs through the heart of London past lots of famous sites such as Trafalgar Square, Houses of Parliament and the London Eye. About 20,000 people took part in the run this year, so it really was a major event!
We are so grateful to our runners who all made excellent times and whose support and commitment to IRT and our work is truly wonderful.
Although in other years we tend to run for all of IRT's projects, we
wanted to highlight the plight of Burmese refugees in Thailand this
year. We want to make sure that we do not forget that although there are
some positive changes happening in Burma, such as the release of
opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, the problems for the ethnic minority Burmese refugees in Thailand is far from One of our runners, Paul, at Trafalgar Square.over. Thank you to our runners and everyone who supported them for making sure that these refugees are not forgotten.
