Craig's doing the Edinburgh Kiltwalk
Craig Smith is raising money for Africa on the Ball
Story
On Sunday 15 September, I'll be walking the full 21 miles of the Edinburgh Kiltwalk to raise funds for Africa On The Ball, a charity I've been a trustee for since 2021. It'll be the furthest I've walked in a LONG time, so it's no mean feat.
Africa On The Ball is a small international sport for development charity founded in Scotland, that uses the power of football to improve education, healthcare, gender equality and enterprise in disadvantaged communities of Africa, starting in Kalingalinga, Zambia.
The money I raise will not only help support the community football club which empowers both boys and girls, and men and women equally with a sense of focus, purpose and team spirit in a safe place, but will fund more academic scholarships, first aid training, plus inclusivity and enterprise projects to help sustainably change lives.
Every single pound raised will go directly to supporting our work.
