I am running my first ever half marathon to raise money for Tearfund! 

I currently have the privilege to work for this charity and am continually so encouraged and inspired by the amazing work that is done through our partners to reach those in greatest need and to empower vulnerable communities around the world. 

I would be so grateful if you would consider sponsoring me. The money we raise will really make a huge difference to so many lives - thank you!

Birungi (pictured) lives in a remote part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Because she was a girl she never went to school and felt worthless. But everything changed for her when she learned to sew and run a business. 

Together, we can change the world for women like Birungi. £360 could enable five people like her to learn a new skill – restoring hope, dignity and the potential to earn an income.
