Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am aiming to complete the Cotswold Way solo in 5 days starting out from Chipping Campden on Monday 28th July and finishing in the city of Bath on Friday 1st August to raise money for Operation Imprezza. Operation Imprezza is a UK charity that for the last 15 years has supported the Imprezza Academy in Western Kenya through fundraising to provide everyday needs, enabling children in poverty to receive a proper education.

Founded by Headteacher Catherine Omanyo in her early 20's in a Nairobi slum with 80 students, the school was destroyed in 2008 during the post-election violence causing Catherine and 35 orphans to flee to Western Kenya. There, having purchased six and a half acres of land, she began again and Imprezza Academy opened its doors in January 2011. There are now 320 students, most of them boarders, all benefiting from schooling in a safe and supportive environment.

The Imprezza Academy is in urgent need of new classrooms and accommodation for the growing number of students, and this is what I am raising money for. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving and all donations go directly to the charity. I am pictured above with Catherine on her recent visit to Torquay Girls' Grammar School which is where Operation Imprezza began. Check out the photos in the gallery, and please support me if you can.
