The Deutsche Welthungerhilfe/German Agro-Action will be starting for the second

time as the charity partner of the real,- BERLIN-MARATHON on September 27-28,

2003. This continues last years successful partnership with the event

organiser, SCC-RUNNING. The goal of this years partnership is to assist the

people of Iraq through sport. One way is for runners to have people sponsor

them by the kilometre or minute.

The real,- BERLIN-MARATHON now also makes it possible to make a donation

directly during online registration on their website. Whoever would like to

take an early opportunity to become involved can do so at

www.berlin-marathon.com or www.welthungerhilfe.de.

Thanks to the excellent commitment of numerous runners, sponsors, and real,-

BERLIN-MARATHON, last year a project of the Deutsche Welthungerhilfe/German

Agro-Action in Afghanistan was supported with a total of about 35,000 Euros.

This year — true to the motto “United we run for Life“

– the money will be applied to the Iraqi Aid project of the

Welthungerhilfe. Especially during the war, but also in the post-war period,

the people in Iraq and the refugees need our help. The real,- BERLIN-MARATHON

and the Deutsche Welthungerhilfe share the conviction that active support is

possible especially through sport and therefore would like to invite everyone

to support this project.

Runners who have already registered for the 30th real,- BERLIN-MARATHON 2003

can make donations directly at www.welthungerhilfe.de.

The organisers of the real,- BERLIN-MARATHON would already like to thank the

marathon runners who in the first 4 days that online donations have been

possible have already given over 1,100 Euros for the Iraq Aid project of the

Deutsche Welthungerhilfe with their marathon registrations.
