Hi all,
On Sunday 17 September 2023, I will be running my first marathon (!!) at the Sydney Marathon and raising funds for The Life You Can Save (TLYCS) along the way.
What is TLYCS?
Selecting a charity to support is not easy. Not all charities are created equal - some charities provide hundreds to thousands times greater impact per dollar than others. TLYCS has done their research and curated a group of non-profits that save or improve the most lives per dollar (their “Best Charities”), and this focuses on highly effective non-profits in the developing world, where our dollars can go further.
What is the 90/10 fund?
Why I’m supporting the 90/10 fund is that it allows you to donate to multiple high-impact charities at once, with a single donation, which also helps reduce transaction and processing costs for TLYCS and their Best Charities. TLYCS distributes 90% of your donation directly to their Best Charities. The remaining 10% will go towards TLYCS, which over the last three years has estimated that each dollar donated has generated an average of $15 in donations to their recommended charities, which is pretty cool to me - your dollar keeps going even further in helping others who need it.
For a breakdown of organisations which your money will go to, please see here.
Why I’m doing this fundraiser
TLYCS is an organisation I am truly passionate about, with work that is incredibly life changing for so many people, and which have been donating monthly to for the past few years. If you’d like to support my running journey, I would absolutely love it if you could donate any amount to this fundraiser. I am so grateful and realise I am so privileged to be able to focus on things like running and doing a marathon, something which the people that these charities are helping do not have the privilege of doing. I hope with this fundraiser that I am able to help raise funds for the individuals TLYCS supports via its Best Charities, and also potentially encourage you to consider donating regularly to TLYCS.
If you would like to keep up to date with my training, please feel free to check out my Strava here.
If you’d like to have a chat to me about running, TLYCS, or effective altruism, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Thank you!
Rhonda
