Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. My name is Freddy and I'm taking my A Levels this academic year. I am fundraising for Project Trust so that I can spend a year volunteering in Senegal after my exams. During my year in Senegal, I will be able to help a local community in educational projects and/or development programmes through working with an NGO. Volunteering abroad will give me invaluable life skills and will help me become self-confident and independent. It will also broaden my horizons and help me become a responsible global citizen.

My main fundraiser is running the circumference of Dakar, a distance of 86km, with my best friend Sam. We will be running it in 5km chunks and will post our progress here. Sam is very fit so he'll be fine. Not so sure about me!

I am also doing lots of other fundraising activities over the coming months, such as dog walking, baby-sitting, car washing, a car boot sale, a bake sale at school, and so on. Any amount you can donate would be very much appreciated as I have a big target to reach! Thank you in advance if you can help me reach it.
