My Challenge:
I'm taking part in the Bath Half Marathon this year in support of Compassion. It is a charity that helps children around the world, who are prevented from reaching their potential because of severe poverty. Sponsoring an individual, who you can get to know personally, makes it easy to see how even small regular donations can make a huge difference in a person's life!
My personal challenge for this year is to finish in less than two hours. Last year I managed to do it in 2:25 but could barely move afterwards!

I'm a final year Electrical Engineering student at the University of Bath, UK. I grew up in Germany but when I was 10 years old, my whole family moved to the Middle East.
I became a Christian at an early age, but living in Qatar and Saudi Arabia really strengthened my faith. Seeing first-hand what costs people are willing to pay to live out their faith in a hostile environment made me realize how important it is.
I ran the Bath Half last year and found it extremely rewarding. This year, I want to run in support of a charity that I have known for a long time and is really close to my heart.
Any donation you could make towards Compassion would be much appreciated!
