On Saturday 28th of September, I will be running/walking from Court Farm, Herefordshire, with the aim of getting as far away as possible in 24 hours. I will leave at 10am and at 10am the following morning, I will stop and mark my location on a map.

I am raising money for a charity called Shivia that helps some of the poorest people in West Bengal, India. In October half-term, I will be going to visit some of their projects which I am very excited about. Amongst other things, Shivia gives poor families chickens and tells them how to look after them. This provides extra food and income for the family.

I would be really grateful if you could sponsor me on this trip. One poultry kit makes a hugemongous difference to these families and I am looking to raise as much money as possible. One Possible way of sponsoring would be to give a small amount for every mile.               Thank you. Hugo 

Here is some more info. about Shivia.

Shivia empowers the poorest to create livelihoods, boost income and inspire permanent change.The focus of our work is in rural West Bengal, one of India’s poorest and most populous states, where we are giving families living in rural villages near Kolkata the tools and training to start money-making agricultural enterprises. We empower the people in most need, and particularly women, to work their own way out of poverty and provide a brighter future for their children.
