Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This time, I'm running for education. For the young people who get to widen their options in life. For me as I educate myself on how painful it is to optimise a running style which has served me for hundred of miles, for decades. I'm no spring chicken after all!

Why UCEP, you might wonder?

Well, it is their ethos which recognises that the quality of education, attuned to the individual and their context, matters in the long run, beyond their personal ambition. What do you think?

"We believe that if children are educated, coached, and mentored in good character-building practices from a young age, their exemplary behaviour as good citizens will positively influence their peers, and their communities at large." https://ucepcommunity.org/
