In October 2019 I received a Facebook friend request from someone I didn't know in a country that i'd barely heard of. You can read more about that at the link below :)

Guinea-Bissau's life expectancy is 8th lowest in the world at 58.3 and GDP per capita is 14th lowest in the world. The country is plagued by severe environmental problems and nearly 70% of the population live below the poverty line.

In late 2020 myself, Linda Ruas and Michelle Ruas founded Action Guinea Bissau (AGB)  with a view to directly improving the lives of the population through a variety of social impact programs, with a specific focus on gender equality, education, environmental issues and unemployment. You can see some of the amazing things we've done so far at the link below:

To raise money for even more projects i've decided to sacrifice some toe-nails for the cause and do another non-stop walk from London to Brighton. All money donated will help us continue our work to raise the standard of living for people across Guinea-Bissau.

Thank you very much for your donation :)
