Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you know, I'm known for my swimming and giving myself a challenge. On 26th April 2026, I'm taking on the ultimate challenge: running the London Marathon for Lilly Uganda! 🏃‍♀️💨 This amazing charity created to ensure these children at Lilly, receive an education and opportunities to build a brighter future for themselves. I'm hoping to raise £2k to support the hard work of my friends who founded Lilly Uganda, and I need your help to get there! A small gift from you can make a HUGE impact!

Thank you so much for being a part of this journey! 💙

Story

Lilly Uganda started 15 years ago after it's founders met 32 incredible children living in Kampala, Uganda. These children were all studying at primary school but did not have the funds to continue onto secondary education and so Lilly Uganda was created to ensure that each child was able to receive an education and achieve their full potential.

Over the years students have gone on to become accountants, teachers, plumbers, mechanics and more. And the charity has grown and continues to support children from primary school up to university.

As well as fully funding education, the charity also provides food packages, hygiene products and funding for medical treatment for students to ensure that they are able to fully concentrate on their studies and make the most of every opportunity.

100% of any donation reaches the projects.

Thank you for your support, Laura
