My Challenge:

I'm running across Togo for Compassion without leaving the UK.

I'm passionate about the work of Compassion UK in Togo. Togo's educational resources are limited. Many young people only have access to a few books and have no access to the 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 be running 100km with the aim of raising at least £1 for each kilometre I achieve.
