I'm taking part in this challenge partly to get me back on my beautiful tricycle after a particularly shit few months physically and a long overdue diagnosis of fibromyalgia. This is me saying bollocks to fibromyalgia. 

But obviously, it's a really good cause, I wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't! There are children in West Africa (and globally) missing out on their education because they don't have access to period products. The start of a period for girls living in the world's poorest communities can mean dropping out of education completely, leaving them at greater risk of child marriage, early pregnancy and exploitation.

The money I raise will go toward packs that include reusable pads, underwear and soap.
