My first trip with Compassion was in 2010 when Paul and I went with a group of church leaders to Peru. We spent a week visiting projects working through local churches on the outskirts of LIma. We were blown away by what we saw and have been totally hooked ever since on Compassion's extraordinary vision to bring God's hope to some of the poorest children around the world.

Last year, through Compassion, we formed a church to church link with a Baptist church in Mariakani - a little town just outside Mombasa in Kenya. Paul and I were there on the very first day of the project and saw 200 children flooding into their little church compound.. It was the most wonderful sight!

As soon as I heard of the plan to do a return visit to Mariakani I was onto it. And then to hear that we were going to combine it with a six day sponsored walk up Kilimanjaro - I immediately signed on the dotted line! One of my passions (my family might say obsessions!) is walking - but I probably didn't take in at the time that it would involve camping for six nights as well.. not one of my passions!


Anyway - this is where you come in. We're walking to raise money for Compassion's Leadership Programme which provides further education for gifted children. We met some of these students while we were in Peru and they were the most wonderful young people who spoke eloquently about the way Compassion had transformed their lives.

So if you were able to sponsor me and make this walk worthwhile I would be so grateful. Please don't feel you have to give any more than £10 each - it all adds up! And if you can gift aid - even better.
