Having grown up in Brasil, I've always wanted to give back to the community. The foundation is a great cause that is going to help a lot of deserving people, especially children who are less fortunate than us.

I'm going to be taking part in the Brighton marathon on the 7th April. I have little experience doing long distance running, with this being my first marathon but I'm excited to push myself for a good cause.

'The Favela Foundation supports grassroots projects that focus on educational development and social welfare, bringing opportunity and change to Brazil's favelas and their residents. They provide more than just financial support by working alongside projects to ensure they are sustainable and permanent features of the community into the future'
