Story
I must admit that I am someone who does not watch or listen much to the News, however, I cant ignore what is going on in the world. I would love to help make a little difference, but I can't do it on my own, that is why I am requesting your help in assisting me to raise money for the people especially the children in Ukraine, Middle East, Libya and Morocco who have been severely affected by the recent wars and earthquakes. I also want to help build a road in an African country. Some countries like in Malawi the roads are so bad that when it's rainy season the children in the villages can't go to school and the adults struggle to go to work. Services also get disrupted as a result.
Finally I would also like to contribute a third of the total sum raised to ACYCLE which is a charity in Ipswich that provides cultural and educational support to children of African , Caribbean and Dual/ multi-race background in Ipswich . I believe children of colour need a place where they can learn about and be proud of their heritage as well as develop their self esteem
I know there is so much I want to do , but I believe every little step counts. A marathon is completed one step at a time, together we can go far - yes we might not change the world , but we can make a difference in the lives of some people

2 months agoOn the 11th of September I achieved my goal of climbing to the top of Ben Nevis - the highest mountain in the UK (2nd most dangerous natural attraction in the world.) Knowing that there are people (esp. children) who walk rough terrain everyday as they dont have proper or reasonable roads, inspired me to go all the way to the top, despite the going getter harder and harder as I climbed up the mountain. Thank you everyone or your contributions so far
