My story

Many of you will know that this time last year I was having problems with walking, having to resort to using a stick and rely heavily on pain killers. With medical intervention, I am now not completely recovered, but substantially better.

 I need to walk more to try to keep improving so I have decided to attempt Christian Aid’s 70K in May !  

I’m taking on 70K in May to help communities across the world. This means I’ll be covering 70 kilometres, in solidarity with millions of people who have to walk long distances for clean water or to sell their produce. 

In many of our projects farmers are battling extreme weather, but with Christian Aid’s support, they’re learning skills to protect their farms and provide for their families.

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.
