My Challenge:
I’m walking/running across Togo for Compassion, without leaving the UK.
For me, this is a challenge that really matters because I sponsor children in Togo through Compassion UK and I'm passionate about the work of Compassion UK in Togo.
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 (but I want to do it in 1 month!), I will walk or run 100km mainly in the hills of West Wales, where I live.
I want to raise at least £1 for each kilometre I achieve.
I’m up for the challenge. Will you help keep me motivated and on track to crossing the finishing line while making a difference to children's lives by making even a small donation?

Well, I have never asked for sponsorship for anything I've done before! There's always a first time! This is such a great cause and your donation will make a significant difference to children living in poverty in Togo. Whether its the price of a coffee, a pizza, a hair cut, a pair of shoes, a Netflix (other other) subscription - whatever you can afford - those pennies and pounds will be well spent. Thank you!
