We are taking a 10 mile walk into the night to raise money for UNICEF’s education work in and to help build a brighter future for vulnerable children.

Our story: When we first discussed doing this, we thought we were doing a 10 mile run and it would be a huge challenge for the both of us seeing as we had never done such a long run before! And as most of you probably know, we probably couldn’t run so far even if our lives depended on it!! So I guess it was a sign that it was meant to be when we read more of the literature and realised that it was in fact a 10K WALK!

So..... the point we are trying to make is that, even though it is only a walk, it is still a whole 10K (which is very far for the both of us!) and is at night!! But most importantly, it is for such a worthy cause. Over one million children in are missing out on an education – so we are hoping that the money we raise from this will help them get back to school. So please dig deep and sponsor us :)

All of the funds raised will support UNICEF projects helping children in attend school and receive a quality education. 'Take One Small Step into the Night' is a sponsored night walk with unique challenges. The walk is a 10k circular route, along the way we will have the opportunity to take part in exciting team challenges. These will test our ingenuity and ability to work together, as well as being a lot of fun.

The walk is part of the Building Young Futures initiative between UNICEF and Barclays which, over the next three years, will help vulnerable young people improve their lives through access to education, employment and opportunities for entrepreneurship.  The partnership focuses on helping children and young adults acquire the skills and opportunities they need to realise their full potential.
