JOIN THE HUMAN RACE AND SUPPORT THE CHILDREN OF DARFUR

On August 31, 2008 one million people will run the Nike+ 10K Human Race and raise funds for good causes.

The UN Refugee Agency is proud to be a beneficiary, through our ninemillion.org campaign.

You can join the race in any one of 25 cities worldwide – or run wherever you are and log your miles online through Nike+.

Either way, you'll be able to raise much-needed funds for refugee children.

The ninemillion.org campaign is dedicated to giving refugee children the chance to learn and play.

Funds raised by runners and donated by Nike will create sport facilities, equip classrooms, and build computer centers for refugee children from Darfur.

And if you can't take part, you can still help - forward this email to friends who may be interested, and sponsor any runners you know.

Run for good. Run for refugee children!
