Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am raising funds for Ethiopiaid by taking part in the Ethiopiaid Challenge and Great Ethiopian Run. This November, I will be joining a small group of colleagues to travel to Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa, to take part in a five-day challenge comprising of:

Volunteering:

The team and I will assist with and serve the street children’s breakfast and deliver a carefully designed needs-based day of activities, games and play therapy at Cheshire Services rehabilitation centre.

1.   The Great Ethiopian Run

We will join nearly 40,000 people in Africa’s largest road race founded by the legendary Haile Gebreselassie. This is a rare opportunity to participate alongside some of Ethiopia's finest athletes in the home of long-distance running.

2.   Fundraising

We will be raising funds for Ethiopiaid to support the work of their local partners.  Each of us has committed to raising a minimum of £2,500 through sponsorship and other activities.

This is not a holiday, it will be hard work!  This is an opportunity to use the education, stability and good health that I have always enjoyed to help those who have not had such luxuries. The team challenge will
be a mental and physical challenge, aiming to provide funding and a transfer of core skills – ones that we take for granted – to help provide life changing benefits for some of the most poorest and deprived people.  When we have completed the Challenge, we want to have left something meaningful and important that will have a lasting impact
for generations to come.
