My story

We are taking on 70K in May to help communities fight the climate crisis. This means I’ll be covering over 70 miles between  us on our Walk from Slemish mountian to Ballyboley forest. We do this in solidarity with millions of people who have to walk long distances for clean water or to sell their produce. 

In Guatemala, farmers like Aurelia are battling extreme weather, but with Christian Aid’s support, they’re learning skills to protect their farms and provide for their families. 

Your support can help fund this vital training. Just £20/€25 could buy two pounds of climate-resilient seeds, diversifying a family’s crop and increasing their resilience against the effects of the climate crisis.

Getting ready for the Fundraiser

Hi All, 

we all met up at Craigyhill methodists to get our Christian Aid tee shirts on Wednesday evening. There are now 9 of us walking. There names are Alison Wolfe, Nicola Wolfe, Jacob Smyth, Ethan Symth, Steve Smyth, Allan McCullough, Joanne  McCully, Ben Loade and Myself.

Jacob my 5 year old Grandson will only join us on the climb up Slemish mountain, and he is really looking forward to it. He loves the thought of Climbing mountains. He climbed Scawt with his Dad Adam and myself last year. Allan McCullough and myself are doing a prep walk on Thurdays evening to make sure we avoid the marsh land between Slemish mountain and Shillanavogy Woods at Douglas Top.

How your money helps

This Christian Aid Week, you can support communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

In places like Guatemala, extreme weather is destroying crops, deepening hunger and threatening livelihoods. But with the right tools and training, farmers can build sustainable futures.  

Every pound you raise could help:

  • Provide climate-resilient seeds to help families grow food.
  • Fund water conservation techniques to protect crops.
  • Support vital training so farmers can build a sustainable future.
