I have the opportunity to travel to Malaysia in July 2018. Whilst there I will be working as a volunteer with a local turtle and coral reef conservation group. The turtle's numbers are worryingly low due to thieves stealing turtle eggs amd selling them on the black market. I have never visted Asia and this opportunity will provide me with a once in a lifetime opportunity to live among and experience the culture and customs of a new community.

I have been involved in a number of efforts to raise my target amount of £2500. I have spent the summer working at a local fruit farm, plus gardening and maintenance jobs around my village.

I have chosen to enter the Hadleigh 5 mile road race in November and it is this event that I am looking for donations. I am not an experienced runner. To be honest I usually only ever break into a run in extreme circumstances ie. if I'm chasing something or being chased!

I have been warned that this particluar race has " undulating terrain", ( I looked it up, it means very hilly) and "challenging" . Well it is World Challenge so I suppose that fits. To make it even more of a challenge I have set myself the target of completing the race in 45mins.

Any donations you can make will be very much appreciated .
