Hi, I'm Layla, next year myself and a group of my peers are planning to go out to Malawi in June. Our school has a partnership with the charity 'Classrooms for Malawi' who we will be working with as well as the local community to reconstruct an unsafe three-block classroom which currently houses around 250 pupils.

I will be running my first ever Great Scottish 10k on the 1st October 2017 and I'd be grateful for any sponsorship you can spare as the total travel costs will be approx £3000 so ideally I'd like to raise a third of this myself.

My aim is to complete the race in no longer than 1 hour, ideally just under 1 hour (if I don't collapse after the first hundred yards that is😜).

Thank you again, Layla xo.
