Story
I’m still wondering what was I thinking when I signed up for the Marathon… but here we are!! At least I’ve convinced Chloe (pictured with a mid-training pint) to run with me🙏
The training is tough so please help me stay motivated by donating to a cause that really means a lot. I'm raising funds for Marafiki Trust, a small UK-based charity, founded in 2020. It supports two programmes in Kenya which are recognised as centres of excellence by the Kenyan Children’s Services:
🌱 Real Hope Community Foundation (RHCF) which rescues and supports over 150 street children by providing access to education, medical care, nutritious meals, and counselling services.
💛 Joyful Hearts Centre which offers vital day-care support for children with cerebral palsy and their families, including education, nutrition, medical support, and occupational therapy.
I’ve had the privilege of sponsoring Chaltu through the RHCF programme for the past 3 years. I really encourage anyone to consider child sponsorship — even a small amount can make a life-changing impact.
🌞To sponsor a child at RHCF or JHC is £25 per month
🌞A term's fees at primary school is approx. £50 per child
🌞A new school uniform is approx. £40 per child
🌞Books and stationery to start the new school year is approx. £60 per child
🌞 Teacher/baby carer salary is approx. £150 per month
100% of all donations go directly to the projects, with UK administrative costs covered by the Trustees.
