I have grown up surrounded by the extensive beauty of the African landscape and its gifted people. I am a proud African, calling Eswatini and South Africa home. Life is cruel for so many children and families in Africa suffering injustice, poverty, exploitation and hopelessness. My first hand experiences to this have left a deep impression on me and a desire to somehow help in these areas.

When I was introduced to WeSeeHope, I knew without a doubt that I wanted to run my first London Marathon raising money for this inspiring organisation!

WeSeeHope is committed to creating sustainable change for vulnerable children in Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe through community-led and skills-based programmes.

Focusing primarily on education, child rights and economic empowerment. Their purpose is that vulnerable children have the skills to change their own futures, and that their families and communities are able to support them along the way.

Please join me in giving to this exceptional cause and I will dash around London's streets as quickly (or slowly) as I can!
