My story

I’m taking on 70K in May to help communities fight the climate crisis. This means I’ll be covering 70 kilometres in whatever way I choose, 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 could buy two pounds of climate-resilient seeds, diversifying a family’s crop and increasing their resilience against the effects of the climate crisis.

KM update & 1st donation

Thanks to Rachel for her offline donation (which I'll pay in at end of month with any other offline donations)

Between 12 May to 17 May I walked 61 km according to step count, 8 km on 12 to 15 May with 7km on 16 May. A trip out to Morecambe and walking along to Heysham, getting lost trying to find an alternative way back made it a 22k day

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.
