Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

After a year of no exercise, I am once again going to run the mighty distance of 5k for those beautiful children in Kenya. I recently returned from my second visit and the poverty impacted me just as much as the last time.

What struck me more this time was the potential some of these people have,  intelligence, skills, ambition, and they just cannot use them. They are victims of their circumstances and for some, no matter how hard they try, there is no way out. So by donating money, we can give them the chances they don't have to fulfil the potential they do.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Abigail Ministries gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
