Story

Send a Cow have had their fundraising efforts hit very hard by COVID-19. 

As part of the 2.6 challenge we'll be running a total of 260 miles over the course of 26 hours. That means each completing 3 miles cycling and 2 miles running every hour, for 26 hours.

In total we'll each be doing 2 marathons of running and 3 marathons of cycling. 

We'll be starting at 5pm on Saturday and if all goes to plan finishing at 7pm on Sunday evening!

Send a Cow is a force for change in rural Africa. They help people grow their own futures – on their own land, on their own terms. Their African-designed solutions were developed with, and for, the communities we support. They provide long-term training in sustainable farming, gender equality and business skills.
