My story

I am the Vicar of Stone, Dinton, and Cuddington and I will be running in our villages to raise awareness of Christian Aid and I am running 70k in May for Christian Aid.

We have so much to be thankful for. We live in a lush and wealthy place where our children have so many opportunities.

I am running to raise awareness that life is a struggle for many who love their children as much as we do. They live in places hit by climate change and where opportunities are few.

I am not fit and so to commit to 14 5k runs is a huge struggle. However, this is nothing compared to the struggles of those who Christian Aid helps.

How your money helps

Poverty pushed Aline to the brink. She was abused, homeless and hungry. But Aline pushed back harder. With Christian Aid funded small business training, she achieved what had seemed impossible, a vital income for her and her children.

Fundraising this Christian Aid Week will ensure more people in Burundi get the skills and knowledge they need to push back against the inhumanity of poverty.
