Story

Thank you for clicking on the link we shared.

We understand that people fundraise every day and that there are numerous charities you can support.

Having visited the Mara Rianda Primary School in Kenya it was clear how just a small amount can make such a difference.

It only costs £90 ($117) to put a child through school for one year.

When I visited, I had the honour of playing football with the children and listened to the girls' songs about female empowerment and rejecting FGM.

Our overall target is £5000 and with that money, we can give an education to 55 children for one year.

I have previously taken on running challenges and have been in the boxing ring on numerous occasions to fundraise, but this will be my biggest challenge to date.

It would also be an honour for me to emulate my father, who conquered Kilimanjaro at 63 years old.

Thank you for your support.

Rob.
