We need water for life. The river Spey shares the water of life with the world. Local church members are joining in a Spey Challenge to help Christian Aid tackle the climate crisis so more people can access water.

Through the month of May 2021 I am going to walk and run 172km - the length of the river Spey. I aim to run at least a quarter of the total distance (43km). 

The climate crisis is leaving people hungry, homeless and heartbroken. People like Rose in Kenya are struggling to survive without a reliable source of water. From drought to flooding, climate chaos robs people of control over their lives. "I often feel hungry," Rose says. "Because of climate change, I worry a lot about food. I pray to God that the rainfall will become normal like it used to be." In recent years, the drought has been so bad that its caused a hunger crisis. Crops wither and die. Rivers run dry. People struggle to survive. The coronavirus pandemic has only made this lack of water more critical for Rose. Without water for handwashing, it is a struggle to stay safe from the virus. 

Please support my fundraising and help to tackle climate injustice and provide reliable water sources for people like Rose.
