I'm taking part in the Marathon des Sables in March 2022, billed as 'The toughest footrace in the world', to raise money for two amazing charities who aim to support young people and education. Camfed , a charity I have championed for many years, are supporting girls to learn, thrive and lead change in Southern Africa. They do amazing work. I am also supporting a charity closer to home. First Days work and campaign to eradicate child poverty in Wokingham, Reading and Bracknell. They work tirelessly to help some of the poorest families in my local area. I will split any money raised equally between the two. Thank you for your support.
