I. hate. running. (If I could put that in bold I would, but for some reason I can't).

I can think of nothing worse than running for no particular reason.

So I’m doing the Reigate 10k to raise money for Tearfund. They do fantastic work in helping people living in poverty, to give them the opportunity to experience the full and thriving lives they deserve.

In Nigeria, Ruth's children used to beg for food. They live in a poor community where food is hard to come by, and as a mother this was heart breaking to watch. ‘Everything seemed hopeless,’ she says. 

But Ruth attended a course run by her church, where she was taught better farming methods. 

With Tearfund's help, she's now able to feed her family, and is even saving up money so that her children can go to school. ‘Everything has changed,’ says Ruth. ‘It’s so exciting!’

Every £72 I raise could help someone like Ruth receive training to feed and provide for her family. Please donate generously to help transform lives where it’s needed most, so that people like Ruth and her children don't have to beg for food. 

Let's beat poverty together! You can read a bit more about Ruth at www.tearfund.org/ruth
