Thanks for visiting my homepage.

In May 2005, Steve Adams the founder of Teach Africa sat in a classroom with around 80 13 year old girls in a school in the heart of one ofNairobi’s slums Mukuru Kwa Njenga. By coincidence the girls were the same age as his daughter Holly.

During a session run by the Barclays Bank Health and Welfare Officer, Joseph Wafula, he announced in matter of fact way, that statistically 50% would not see their 25th birthday. They barely batted an eyelid, it rocked Steve.

The reason is due to the high incidence of rape in the slums fuelled by rough drugs and alcohol and resulting in the contracting of AIDS through forced unprotected sex.

Between 12^th and 18^th September, 2009 I will be taking part in a six day, six stage foot race which starts in , finishes in and covers 156 miles. The race starts at Robert the Bruce’s cave then south to the foot of the Cumbria Mountains, two stages in the mountains before I take on the Dales for two stages and finally to Wales for the final stage and an epic finish at Ruthin Castle – My biggest challenge ever!
