This year I'm turning 40, and I thought I'd challenge myself by coming up with a list of tasks: things I'd like to do over the next year. Some things I've done before, while others are brand new to me.

One new thing is running a half marathon! I've always said I should run in the Ealing Half Marathon as it literally goes past my front door. No time like the present to challenge myself and so this year I've entered the race.

While I'm at it, I thought I'd raise money for Tearfund, the charity that I work for. I'd be grateful if you'd consider giving to this cause to help those in need. More details below.

Around the world, millions of people who were already vulnerable are being forced further into poverty due to the ongoing effects of Covid-19, the climate crisis and conflict. Together, we can change that! With your support, I hope to raise money for Tearfund which helps to empower people to lift themselves out of poverty, live transformed lives, and fulfil their God-given potential. £22 could provide somebody with enough food for a month.£44 could provide four families with drought-resistant seeds.£64 could equip two farmers with skills to help them adapt to the climate crisis. Every donation makes a difference. Thank you so much for your support.
