Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Supporting my family is very important to me, and I believe that even a small effort can make a big difference. That's why I've decided to challenge myself and participate in the London Marathon 2024.

By running this marathon, I aim to raise funds for Mothers' Union (MU), an incredible organization that supports women locally and around the world in helping their families reach their full potential through experiences and education.

Mothers' Union is a global Christian movement working in 83 countries, bringing together people of all faiths and none. Their mission is to develop communities, strengthen families, and advocate for change to stop hunger, injustice, and violence.

I am specifically supporting two long-term MU projects that are enabled and funded by members:

1. The MU Coventry 'Away From It All' (AFIA) holidays, breaks, and trips programme for families in the Coventry and Warwickshire area. This programme provides a much-needed break for those who may be experiencing stress or difficulties in their family life. AFIA offers precious time for families to spend together away from their home situations, engage in activities together, and simply have fun. Many families have experienced healing in their relationships by spending quality time with each other through this programme.

2. The MU Central Literacy and Savings Programmes in Burundi. This programme focuses on empowering women through training facilitators to lead local women's literacy and financial education initiatives. The impact of this programme has been remarkable - it has brought about gender equality, increased participation of women in decision-making processes, and transformed families' lives.

I am truly inspired by the work that Mothers' Union does every day to make a positive impact on the lives of women and families worldwide. But they can't do it alone - they need our support.

That's why I'm reaching out to you today with an ask - please consider making a donation towards my fundraising efforts for Mothers' Union. Your contribution will go directly towards supporting these vital projects that are changing lives.

Together, we can make a difference!
