A full explanation of the charity, its work and aims are below! But for me I’m doing 80km tracked in the month of September for first challenge and then the Snowdon group hike as the second, all to fundraise for a very heartfelt cause.

Please hold me to account! Running or walking 8, 10km in a month sounds awful…

Any donation is appreciated little or large, thank you for your kindness and support.

More than half of girls who start school in Uganda, drop out - largely because they cannot have their periods in safety.

What Elgon Empowerment does:

It's not periods that stop girls going to school, it's the lack of access to sanitary products, the lack of of knowledge of menstrual health and access to support and facilities. We can use the privilege afforded to us by being from the UK to help awe-inspiring local leaders with such challenges.

We facilitate Women's workshops, teaching about women's reproductive health and provide thousands of reusable sanitary products. We're able to do this because of you - crowdfunding our way to more empowered communities! Run solely by volunteers and driven by the priorities of our local partners.

My fundraising:

This September the team are challenging ourselves to run, swim, cycle or waddle 80km in aid of Elgon Empowerment's women's and social empowerment work.

Your support make's the world of difference.
