My Challenge:

Danny and Damo Versus the Volcano

Danny Wigley and Damian Clapham met while on a trip to Rwanda with Compassion UK to see first-hand the amazing work they do one child at a time through sponsorship. During this trip, they both completed a Compassion Challenge to run a marathon in Rwanda. The marathon was organised for Compassion UK by the wonderful people at Impact Marathons and both were inspired by the professionalism and the ethos of the company to leave a significant positive “impact” in the lives of the local people where their marathons take place. The desire to take part in one of their marathons around the world and to help them in the positive “impact” they create in that area was too hard to resist. How can you turn down the chance to run up to the top of a seriously active volcano in Guatemala!!

This Marathon is nicknamed “The Best of Pacaya” after the volcano it ascends and descends and in taking on such a challenge it would be a waste of human endeavour not to raise money for charity in the process.
