Event: The Starting Blocks Challenge, from 5 July 2021 to 31 March 2025 Start fundraising for this event
Not every young person has the opportunity or inspiration to unlock their potential and find their Starting Block in life. The challenge aims to change whats possible for those young people who are facing challenges in their everyday lives.

Story

My starting blocks was Ghana in West in Africa, where I spent 6 months teaching children and looking after them in a local hospital. There I learnt about the importance of nutrition and it was the start of my journey into a career as a Nutritionist.

Ghana is about 3000 miles away a bit too ambitious for me! While I was in Ghana I taught some of the children to swim, and in memory of that my challenge is going to be to swim a mile as fast as I can! I have not been in a pool swimming for about 10 years so this is going to be interesting!
