It's been a while since I last undertook any fundraising effort to support Africa on the Ball so this year I've walk both the Glasgow (23 miles), and Edinburgh (21 miles) Kiltwalks, aiming to fundraise £440 (£10 for each mile) in total for the charity's work.

I'm reaching out to friends and broader network to help me raise funds to support Africa on the Ball's work in Kalingalinga, Zambia.

Here's why your contribution to this Kiltwalk fundraiser matters:

- Every single penny, every pound raised goes directly to Africa on the Ball charity PLUS AotB can claim all eligible Gift Aid (up to 25% extra) on donations (so make sure you tick the Gift Aid box when donating).

There's so many ways you can help along the way. Whether it's through a donation, sharing this page with your network, or simply sending words of encouragement, your support will really help me through every mile.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
