This year, Christian Aid Week is focused on Guatemala, where farmers like Aurelia are battling extreme weather brought on through climate change.
With Christian Aid's support, Aurelia is learning innovative techniques to make organic fertiliser, construct rainwater collection systems, and grow a wider range of crops including cacao beans, which she uses for making chocolate to sell locally.

7 x 10k
I'm taking part in Christian Aid's '70k in May' challenge by running seven 10k runs throughout the month.
To make things a bit more interesting, I'm inviting anyone donating to guess the total time it will take me to cover the 70k. I'll be sending the winner a gift box of Guatemalan craft chocolate from Cocoa Runners (sadly we couldn't get any chocolate made by Aurelia's community).
Suggested donation of £5 to make a guess at my timings, but all donations of any amount will be gladly and gratefully appreciated.
Have a guess
Include a guess (in minutes & seconds) in the message when donating. To get you started:
An average of 5m45 per-km would be: 402 minutes 30 seconds
An average of 5m30 per-km would be: 385 minutes 0 seconds
An average of 5m15 per-km would be: 367 minutes 30 seconds
An average of 5m per-km would be: 350 minutes 0 seconds
The last 10k run I did was on 28th March where my average pace was 5m25 per-km.
Over to you!
(Please try not to guess the same time as anyone else as I'll be giving priority to the first guesser)
