My story

I’m taking on 70K in May challenge to help communities fight the climate crisis. This means I’ll be walking at least 70 kilometres, 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. If you are a UK tax payer, please remember to gift aid your donation. This means Christian aid will be able to claim 25p from the government for every £1 donated. So your donation of £30 becomes £30 + £7.50. 

£30 could help fund the training session that teaches someone how to make valuable organic fertilizer 

£20 could buy two pounds of climate-resilient seeds, diversifying a family’s crop and increasing their resilience against the effects of the climate crisis.

£110 could provide the water recycling system that captures precious rainwater to sustain a family’s crops through a drought

Walk 70K in May Challenge

I have been walking during the month of May to raise funds for Christian Aid's work in countries where people are impacted by the effects of climate change. My walks have taken me across Parks, residential areas but mostly along the River Thames. 

Unlike the journeys that people like Aurelia have to walk, I have had the pleasure of going at the pace I choose as I enjoy the beautiful scenery,  Some days were wet but this May has been mostly pleasant. I have had the benefit of watching 2 families of ducks and each time I went along the river in Caversham, there was just something to marvel at with this family.  

As promised, I have done about 100Km. 

I did not do this alone. A team of four ladies at Emmanuel took on this challenge and in week four we did a joint walk along the river for about 6Km and enjoyed every moment together. 

Thank you to those whom have donated and to those whom have not, I hope my 100K is incentive enough for you support this effort. 

Remember the hope we have in God and that we can share with others, just like Aurelia does. 

“I pray that the God who gives hope will fill you with much joy and peace while you trust in him. Then your hope will overflow by the power of the Holy Spirit”. Romans 15: 13

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.
