Hi Good People - Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Despite all of the restrictions and lockdowns here due to COVID - 19, I have been particularly affected over the past few days by more and more stories emerging about the devastating impact of COVID on life in East Africa. So much so, that I feel I must act at a personal level.

I really want to be in East Africa to help, but I know that it just isn't possible. So perhaps the next best thing is for me to start my journey there by walking / running  / cycling, as if I was actually trying to get there. If I can at least 'virtually' journey there I feel i will be standing in solidarity with the people we love and serve in East Africa and in some way moving towards them. 

Its a tall order to do this on my own -  to walk / run / cycle all of the 6064 miles from my house to the Fields of Life office in Uganda!! Some others are going to, or have already started, their personal challenges by doing some miles in their gardens or close to their homes. Maybe you could do?

I want to try and raise a minimum of £1 per mile and I have an amazing friend who has agreed to match my donations up to a total of £6064 pound for pound. So every pound you give will be doubled!

This is a practical solution for me while being alone to be together with my friends and colleagues in East Africa. We can all support the incredible people of East Africa in community together and we can have some craic and fun along the way posting photos and videos of our efforts!

If you wanna virtually journey with me find out how to set up your own fundraiser as part of the team effort here:
