Last year I ran 20km to help this amazing organisation, that some brilliant friends set up and still are heavily involved with.

They’re doing incredible work, bringing clean, safe drinking water, health training, education and hope to villages in South Sudan. To copy from Jono himself “ To combat this, we helped start the IDAT Community Health and Evangelism Programme, which has so far trained over 9000 community health promoters in 140 villages. These volunteers are providing health education to a whole generation of South Sudanese, including topics such as hygiene, sanitation, nutrition, antenatal & postnatal care, prevention of malaria and much more.

Alongside the health training, we empower communities in South Sudan to achieve their development goals through drilling water wells, and helping establish village schools, medical outreaches, community farms and churches.

With your help this year we would like to raise $30,000 to:

1. Help drill 3 more water wells

2. Expand our health training into 30 new villages

3. Train another 1000 Community Health Promoters”

I wish I could say that following my efforts last year, that I kicked on and went on a transformative fitness journey….but I didn’t!!

This year I’m keen to try go one better, and do 21km, a half marathon!! And goodness knows I need all of help I can get!!

Wish me luck, and thankyou so much for any donations, they go to an incredible cause.
