My Challenge:

We are running across Togo for Compassion, without leaving the UK.  

For us, this is a challenge that really matters. because I’ve For myself (Jamie), I've been to Togo with Compassion UK and understand the challenges that they face.  

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 we are taking on Compassion UK’s Togo 100km Virtual Challenge.  

Over the next month, we will run 100km.

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

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