I'm choosing love and climbing mountains in aid of refugees
Alex Carter is raising money for Vodafone Foundation
Story
In September, I will be taking on the three peaks challenge, climbing the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales. I know this may sound like a walk in the park, compared to cycling the country and running 53 miles, but this is no easy feat and I will be pushing the fitness boundaries even further by doing it in 24 hours!!
I'm really grateful to the Vodafone Foundation for letting me make the most of my crazy fitness hobby to raise money for the fantastic causes they support. I have been incredibly fortunate this year and I want to spread some of the love further to those that need it most, something I feel incredibly passionate about.
In recent years there has been a spotlight on refugess worldwide and the Vodafone Foundation via the Vodafone Choose Love campaign, want to help support some of the 65.3 million people displaced from their homes due to conflict or natural disaster.
Money raised will go to their longstanding partner UNHCR and Europe’s largest grassroots distributor of aid, Help Refugees. Both charities play a critical role supporting both the immediate and long term needs of those who are displaced.
In partnership with UNHCR money raised will allow Vodafone to continue to enable young refugees to access a quality digital education through our Instant Network Schools in both Africa and Greece. Working with Help Refugees we want to provide food, shelter and access to information for refugees across Europe.
