Following several months of hard training (and with some concern an Achilles tendon injury might be getting in the way), our Treasurer Lindsay Stirton last Sunday completed the Rio Marathon. Congratulations for a huge achievement!!
Lindsay ran his 42K in support of BIEN’s Congress Solidarity Fund, which was set up to support low-income individuals participating in Toronto’s BIEN Congress. As Lindsay puts it:
“Basic income is, at heart, about security, dignity and inclusion. Supporting broader participation in the BIEN Congress is one practical way of advancing those same values. A serious global conversation about economic security should itself be open to people from a wide range of backgrounds and circumstances.”
Lindsay has run his race, but our job is not done yet! We are keeping the fundraising open until June 30. Those of you who would like to support BIEN can still do so by donating here: https://bien.enthuse.com/pf/lindsay-stirton.
We still have some way to go to reach our goal of £2500 but every small donation helps the cause!
Help BIEN celebrate our 40th Anniversary by donating.
