Thanks for visiting my just giving page.

I've set this page up as I'm going to Uganda in the summer with a team from my church. We will be working with an organisation called Watoto. Whilst we are there, we'll be building a house for orphaned children in Gulu, which is a war-torn area in northern Uganda. Building this house will mean that children who have been orphaned by the HIV/Aids epidemic and civil war will now be brought up in safety.

The trip is 16 days long and will involve us spending a week building a house up in Gulu. After this we will spend time in Watoto's baby unit back in Kampala and have time to hang out with some of the other children - putting on some craft activities and playing games.

While I am there I will have the opportunity to go on Safari for 2 days - The £1500 that I am trying to raise, does not include the cost of this as I will be paying for this myself.

To raise money, I will be doing a 10km run. If you know me even vaguely, you're probably well aware of this being completely crazy, given my aversion to exercise. However, I'm willing to go a bit crazy and attempt to get fit in order to raise money for the trip! I also have some very lovely friends who will be running this with me, helping me to raise the £1500 - thank you Eleanor and James!

Over the coming months we'll be putting on other fundraising activities as a team, which I will keep you posted on.

If you feel able to sponsor me, I'd really appreciate it.

**Update**

I have now exceeded my personal target of £1500, but am continuing to raise money that will be used to fund the actual building project and support other team members in their personal fundraising.

Thank you sooooo much!
