On the 7th September I will be joining a small team to walk 25km across the South Downs, raising funds for Raising Futures Kenya.

Although I'm a runner, a long distance walk is a very different challenge! Please consider a donation to support me and this brilliant charity.

Raising Futures Kenya works alongside 14-25 year olds in Kenya who are out of education and unemployed. Through their Seed of Hope training programme young people get the training, skills, qualifications and confidence they need to find a job or start their own small business, becoming financially independent. They also provide mental health support to help young people process past traumas and build resilience.

They believe every young person deserves an opportunity to build a secure, rewarding future for themselves - free from poverty.
