My Challenge:

I’m walking across Togo for Compassion UK, without leaving Cyprus!

For me, this is a challenge that really matters because I’m passionate about the work of Compassion UK and would like God to use this challenge to help the youth of Togo with further education.

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 two months, I will walk 100km with my Simba by my side or through daily activities.

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?
