On Monday 12th April 2021 I will be joining the virtual run for Transaid, raising money for their life-saving road safety and access to healthcare programmes in Africa. I am running 16 miles to celebrate 16 years involvement in Transaid 's inspiring work. My husband will be running every mile with me.

COVID-19 has created unprecedented disruption worldwide. Transaid has risen to the challenges and is working tirelessly to keep essential health services functioning and to support an integrated COVID-19 response.

What your help could fund:

£12 could buy the materials to install eight tippy taps to equip four communities with two hand washing facilities

£60 could buy PPE and run COVID-19 sensitisation sessions for ten truck drivers

£100 could buy locally produced facemasks for 100 community health volunteers in Zambia

£120 could buy a strong bicycle for a health worker, enabling doctors and nurses to reach more communities every day

With your help Transaid can continue to improve rural community access to healthcare and ensure that truck drivers do not have to fear for their health when they leave for a days work.
