After being really ill eleven years' ago, it's a miracle that I can now get trained up and consider running a half marathon.  Tearfund are a fantastic charity that I've supported for several years, and who are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year.  I want to use the gifts that I have been given to bless this charity, so that they in turn can bless people around the world, such as Birungi.

Birungi lives in a remote part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Because she was a girl she never went to school and felt worthless. But everything changed for her when she learned to sew and run a business.

I’m running for Tearfund so that many more people like Birungi can have their hope and value restored. Please sponsor me to help end extreme poverty.

Together, we can change the world for women like Birungi. Read more of her story at www.tearfund.org/wewontstop
