Story

How can I challenge myself and raise funds for a project really close to my heart?...

I have been working with Gua Africa since its creation in 2008 and have worked full time as the UK Coordinator since graduating with my degree in International Development 5 years ago.  Running a marathon is not something I ever thought I would actually do, so this is a real challenge for me.

I am running the Brighton marathon this year to raise funds for the students in South Sudan who show determination, courage and strength everyday just to receive an education. The least I can do is run 26.2 miles to help them achieve this!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page and please pass details of my challenge to others.
