We're dusting off our running shoes to raise money for ECSSSUP - the UK Charity that exists solely to support the development of a new university in South Sudan.

Why this cause?

Education is the key to stability, peace and development in South Sudan. The country desperately needs doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers, agriculturalists, lawyers and business people who are committed to building a peaceful and prosperous nation. Sure, primary and secondary school education is critical - but without higher education, South Sudan won't have the teachers they need, and students complete their education with no clear future.

What challenge are we taking on?

All of us will be taking on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset in November - think rain, wind, cold and hills. Lots of hills. Rupal & Hanna will be undertaking the 60km ultramarathon and Eeva the half marathon.
