My Challenge:

I’m running (maybe stumbling) across Togo for Compassion...but without leaving the UK. I'm taking on a virtual challenge.

For me, this is a challenge that really matters because a few years ago, I was part of a trip which visited Togo through Compassion UK

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 few weeks, I will run 100km.

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 and save Rachel having to make up any donation shortfall!!
