Run and Hike for Light · 31 July 2022

LED's mission is to provide low-tech solutions to 3 basic needs: affordable lighting, basic education and essential healthcare. Led by the inspiring Val Pitkethly, we focus on the remote communities of Nepal and Peru.

Story

About me: I am half-Peruvian and travel there each year. I have spent some time in the mountains near Huaraz which is an amazing place. It is very different from my home in Scotland. Life there in the mountains is very tough and some communities do not have access to things that we take for granted, such as electricity, education and medical help.

The charity: The charity that I am supporting (Light Education Development-LED) helps to provide lighting, education and healthcare in some of these remote places. 

My challenge: Over the course of the coming months, I am going to run and hike the same altitude as the highest mountain in Peru: Huascaran. It is 6768m tall so I will be running up my local hill regularly along with climbing some Scottish mountains.

I will update my progress regularly.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

En Español: En los próximos meses voy a correr y escalar  en total la misma altura que el Huascarán en Perú (6768 msnm) para recaudar fondos para LED que ayudan a dar electricidad, educación y salud a las comunidades más necesitadas de la Cordillera Blanca y la Cordillera Huayhuash.

Gracias por sus donaciones!
