Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the World. - Nelson Mandela 

In March 2018 I will be setting off on a new educational challenge, this time to Ghana. African Adventures is a social enterprise which specialises in educational trips and is dedicated to improving lives in the UK and Africa. Trainee teachers can make a real impact by bringing their experiences and insights to a new environment.
To be able to make a difference in a community and to young people who have not had the same opportunities in sports that I have is something I cannot begin to imagine. Not only this but to have the chance to develop professionally and personally whilst doing something that I love.

The programme itself will cost around £2000 and any further funds raised will go towards helping the foundation and getting resources to take out to the young people in Ghana. I will also be saving money to go towards reaching my target. I thought the best way to raise the funds would be to  do a half marathon, seeing as I can't run at all. Another challenge which I'm sure will be worth it. I will make sure to keep everyone posted on the training and the experience and put all funds to good use helping the young people develop.

Thanks in advance for all your support.
