Mina, Mal and Astrid after the Hackney Half

Mina, Mal & Astrid ran the Hackney Half — and raised over £500.

In May, three friends took on the Hackney Half Marathon to support North Korean escapees, raising over £500 to help deliver projects to the community in the UK. We’re so proud of their inspiring achievement — thank you, team!

“Education is my passion, and CNK helps North Koreans in the UK to have education opportunities. I was happy to raise funds for their amazing work.”

Mina

“When I heard about the important work of CNK, I was more than happy to help raise funds for such a worthwhile cause.”

Mal

“It’s challenging to settle in a new country. If we can help even one person find a better life in the UK, we’ve already made a significant impact.”

Astrid
