I'm Stepping Up for Girls by walking 310,000 steps this October! Sadly, despite years of progress, so many girls across the world are still being undervalued, undermined and underestimated. Held back by damaging gender stereotypes, harassed in public and even sometimes married as children. 

So I am taking on Step up for Girls and raising funds for girls and young women around the world who deserve an equal chance in life. To sponsor my challenge PLEASE click on 'Give Now'. All funds raised will go towards Plan International UK who are working to create a just and equal world for children AND especially girls. Plan currently works in over 70 countries including the UK. 

£9 is enough to send a girl in Nicaragua for a month...£12 could provide a dignity kit to a girl in Mozambique so they can manage their periods the way they choose...and £55 could support a Positive Parents group in Tanzania for a year, building up parents as allies against FGM and child marriage.

Please do sponsor me if you'd like to. Thank you.
