My Challenge:
Over the next 3 months I aim to walk 100km which is the width of the country Togo.
Togo is one of the poorest countries in the world. On the current United Nations Human Development Index ( HDI ) it is ranked 163rd out of 193 countries.
The most vulnerable in poor countries are often the children and young people who have very limited access to food, clothing, healthcare and education and are often vulnerable to exploitation and mistreatment.
Compassion sponsorships are a brilliant opportunity to support individual children. You can write letters to your sponsors child and receive letters and drawings from them also. I became a sponsor through Compassion for a young boy, Daniel, in Togo a few years back. How ever Daniel is only one of many children in the country who need support and help to meet their basic needs. So as a way to raise money for the completion of Togo's new youth centre and to raise awareness of an amazing charity supporting the most vulnerable people on our planet I will walk 100km over the next couple of months.
I would really appreciate your support. Even 1£ would be much appreciated because anything that you may have spare will help make a difference for these children. Thank you 😊

If you know me, you know I am maybe not the most athletic person 😅 so while it may sound a simple and easily achievable task for some it will be somewhat of a challenge for me to get out every day and walk 100km during May, June and possibly a bit of July 😁
I am in my late 30s and a mummy to two wonderful children. As a family we live in the beautiful Northern Irish countryside but I am originally from Germany.
I am a mum to a 2 year old girl and 8 year old boy and I couldn't imagine not being in a position to provide for them, to protect and nurture them. However this is a reality for so many families in Togo and if this is one small way of supporting some of these most vulnerable children then it's 100% worth it.
