Actress Sophie Thompson, best known for her roles in Four Weddings and a Funeral and Room with a View, is the first person to bravely agree to run the London Marathon this April in aid of CINI’s work to help mothers and children in India.
As a mother herself, and having travelled to India, this is a cause she’s passionate about. She’s already spoken out about the importance of having loos in schools in India so that girls can attend school and receive an education. She’s now going that extra mile (or more like 26!) to raise money and awareness of CINI’s vital work to improve the lives of some of India ’s poorest communities.
To support her fantastic efforts, or to respond to her appeal for the ultimate slogan for her 26 mile slog, please visit www.justgiving.com/Sophie-Thompson0

This is an excerpt from an article featuring CINI's work shortlisted for Guardian Overseas Journalism Award
It looked like a bundle of rags, but the tiny parcel being thrust towards us was a baby.
Little Dipali's appearance was shocking – twiggy legs, baggy skin and an oversized head that made her look premature at two months old. She was, warned Dr Subho Pal, so severely malnourished that she would die within weeks without treatment. Dipali's mother had died in childbirth aged 16 – a victim of India's high maternal death rate.
The infant's condition was all too common in a country where 42% of children are malnourished, despite booming economic growth. Dr Pal – a paediatrician with the Child in Need Institute, an NGO which runs clinics and education programmes in and around Kolkata – blames this crisis on the low status of women in Indian society.
