My Challenge:

I’m cycling on an exercise bike across Togo for Compassion, without leaving the UK. (Well I guess my first 4 days will start in Norway).

For me, this is a challenge that really matters because I sponsor several children through Compassion UK and I’m passionate about children getting the access and resources they need to give them a better future.

Togo’s educational resources are limited. Many young people have access to few books and no internet. As a result, they can’t progress onto higher education and miss out on the stable income that a graduate job secures.

Compassion Togo is close to completing a youth resource centre in Togo’s capital Lomé. This will enable 500 young people to continue learning and pursue their dreams.

But it needs funding. That’s why I’m taking on Compassion UK’s Togo 100km Virtual Challenge.

Over the next three months, I will cycle on my exercise bike 100km. At home and occasionally at the gym.

I want to raise at least £1 for each kilometre I achieve.

I’m up for the challenge. Will you help me cross the finishing line?
