Story

My Journey with Street Child: From Sierra Leone to Everest Base Camp

Hi everyone,

Travel and new challenges have always been a passion of mine. However, after the pandemic, I found myself at my heaviest and hadn’t exercised properly in a long time. Realising the need for change, I set a goal to turn my life around. This led me to an extraordinary experience – running a half marathon in Sierra Leone.

The Sierra Leone Experience

Participating in the half marathon in Sierra Leone was a monumental challenge. It was my first half marathon, and I faced 40-degree heat and intense humidity. But it was here that I witnessed the incredible work Street Child does first-hand. I saw the dedication of the people involved and the profound impact they make on children’s lives. This experience truly inspired me.

Taking on a New Challenge: Everest Base Camp Trek 2024

Motivated by my experience in Sierra Leone, I’ve set my sights on an even bigger challenge – the Everest Base Camp trek. In November 2024, I will embark on this journey to raise funds for Street Child, aiming to reach a target of £1,000. This trek represents not only a personal milestone but also a commitment to supporting Street Child’s mission to ensure all children are safe, in school, and learning.

How You Can Help

Your support can make a significant difference. By sponsoring me, you are contributing to:

Building and supporting schools: Providing safe learning environments.

Protecting children: Shielding them from dangers like trafficking and child labour.

Empowering communities: Through education, helping children break the cycle of poverty.

Join Me on This Journey

I am now in training for the Everest Base Camp trek, fully aware of the tough but rewarding journey ahead. Your sponsorship can help me achieve this goal and, more importantly, support the incredible work Street Child does. Every donation brings us closer to making education accessible and ensuring the safety of children in need.

Let’s inspire hope and change lives together. Sponsor my Everest Base Camp trek and be part of this transformative journey.

Thankyou for reading my story
