My story

Dear Friend,
Thank you so much for coming to my fundraising page for United World Colleges. I will undertake my biggest challenge ever by skiing to the North Pole as part of the Polar Challenge. Its a dream to embark on this adventure and even more so to be able to raise funds for UWC scholarships aimed at young women from countries in crisis in the Middle East and Africa. Attending UWC will provide them with a unique chance to engage with students from around the world and gain the confidence to contribute to a sustainable peace in their home countries.

Your generosity will make an enormous difference in the lives of these young women. So please dont be shy, give generously and sponsor me online. Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: UWC will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thank you so much for sponsoring me and giving these young women a chance!
