Hi I'm Catherine, I would love support from my friends and family to help raise money for two causes which are very close to my heart.

Myself and some friends are doing a sponsored 5 mile walk to raise money and awareness for Nourish the Children and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Malnourished children are missing key nutrients in their diets, which can hinder brain, bone, and immune system development. Most humanitarian food consists mainly of grain, such as corn, but may lack other essential nutrients necessary for healthy development. My aim is to raise money for the Nourish the Children Initiative so that as many children as possible will receive a Vitameal which contains all the essential nutrients a child needs to survive on for 30 days. The child also will receive an education alongside receiving their Vitameal.

My second cause is Rheumatoid Arthritis, which is a condition I was diagnosed with at the age of 19. I aim to raise awareness of this "invisible illness" which can be so debilitating for many. I have been lucky enough to be able to go in to remission with the disease but have had a few challenging times over the years. There are so many who are not as fortunate as myself and have no quality of life. My aim is to raise funds to support those who are suffering physically and emotionally through the condition.

I would really appreciate as much support as possible to enable me to hit/smash my target of £300.

Many thanks

Catherine x
