My story

This May, I’m taking on Christian Aid's 70k in May again with a target of cycling  an average of 10 miles  a day through the month, so 310 total, along with walking the RNLI May Day mile a day in May.   

This Christian Aid Week, we're learning about families facing hunger in Nairobi , Kenya and how Christian Aid partners are supporting them in creative, practical, sustainable ways

Parents like Fridah are growing food in small city spaces so their children can eat. With tools, seeds and training, families can face the present and plan for the future. 

Please support my challenge this Christian Aid Week now I've decided what it is!

Challenge decided

So the decision is made : my cycling target is an average of 10 miles a day - a total of at least 310 miles in 31 days 

And that's along with finding time to walk at least one mile every day for RNLI's  Mayday mile a day in  May.. The page for that, should you wish to double your support,  is

Congratulations! This activity has received its first donation!

How your money helps

You can support families facing the daily stress of food insecurity in Nairobi.

In the crowded and noisy settlements of Nairobi, parents like Fridah wake up knowing they must earn money – otherwise their children won’t eat that evening. But with tools, seeds and training from our partner, Beacon of Hope, families can grow nutritious vegetables in small city spaces and grow hope for the future.

Every pound you raise could help:

  • provide seeds and tools so people can grow food in small spaces.
  • fund training so people can plan ahead and protect their livelihoods.
  • support community-led projects that strengthen food security and incomes.
