Despite a fear of water and arthritis in my knees and feet, with support from three great friends, I will be attempting to cycle 25 km, walk 25 km and canoe 25 km over 2.5 days (between 21st and 23rd October) to mark Kidasha's Silver Jubilee anniversary and raise some funds to support its work in Nepal.

Work that is more vital than ever in the current economic context, where inflation in Nepal is pushing more families into extreme poverty and putting more children at risk of hunger, neglect, abuse and exploitation.

Over the last 25 years, Kidasha has given thousands of children growing up in urban poverty the chance a safer, brighter future - your donation will help Kidasha to protect and support even more children (and will also encourage me to face the water!)

Enormous thanks for your support.
