The UK has many charities, as far as I know the UK is the biggest collector for charities in the world, such as  children in need, disabled children, children with learning difficulties, Great Ormond street children’s hospital for children with burns and cancer, there are even charities for animals.

Talking about charity, one of my colleagues ran the London marathon, last week; he ran 26 miles and finished in 5 hours and 15 minutes. There are many people who ran a the marathon, for charity, my colleague, who ran the marathon, sponsored a charity. What we do ask people to sponsor you for the marathon or any other event, such as swimming in the Antarctic Ocean, jumping from a plane or other things for charity.  Its good that there are people who want to help other people.
