PAWA Champions

Jerome Cheung and Alicia Collyear ran the London Marathon to raise money for PAWA’s floating school in Bangladesh. They both put in a heroic effort, clocking in a running time of just over four hours. The PAWA team was on hand to cheer them on – as Jerome said, “The support along the entire course was phenomenal and absolutely amazing seeing the PAWA team along the way. It definitely helped me get to the finish line.” A huge thank you to Jerome and Alicia!
