Kristin Running for Resettlement 2016

Hello Everyone! :)

Started in 2014 by Fulbrighters wanting to help North Korean defectors, R4R aims to raise funds in order to rescue defectors who face repatriation to North Korea where they risk torture, imprisonment, or execution. Refugees, many whom live in China, are forced to live in hiding and can fall victim to labor and sex trafficking.

All funds will be donated to the NKHR Rescue Fund. Since its inception in 1996, the Citizen's Alliance for North Korean Human Rights (NKHR), has helped to rescue defectors and set up resettlement programs for them. The Rescue Fund was created by volunteers within NKHR to host fundraising events that will aid in rescuing North Koreans.

This year on Sunday, June 12th in Seoul, R4R will once again be participating in the Kim Dae Jung Peace Marathon which helps to raise money and awareness for North Korean human rights. This year, I will be running the 5km part of the marathon and invite you to please donate if you can or share this information to others.

To rescue and bring one defector safely to South Korea, it costs approximately 2,500 USD. Any amount will help :) Thank you for your time!

Runners for R4R register to run in the Kim Dae-Jung Peace Marathon in Seoul on June 12, while committing to fundraise for Citizens' Alliance for North Korean Human Rights (NKHR) Rescue Fund. Our goal is to raise $20,000 total to help 8 North Koreans safely reach South Korea from China, where they face human rights abuses.
