My story

I’m taking on 70K in May to help communities fight the climate crisis. This means I’ll be covering 70 kilometres in whatever way I choose, in solidarity with millions of people who have to walk long distances for clean water or to sell their produce. 

In Guatemala, farmers like Aurelia are battling extreme weather, but with Christian Aid’s support, they’re learning skills to protect their farms and provide for their families. 

Your support can help fund this vital training. Just £20 could buy two pounds of climate-resilient seeds, diversifying a family’s crop and increasing their resilience against the effects of the climate crisis.

How am I doing?

Today is the 13th May and I've now completed my challenge.  I walked 71.5 Km over six days and feel great knowing that all the Kms in the hot weather has been worth it.  Thinking about those who have to walk miles and miles for clean water, often in baking heat - walking in a warm early summer in the UK has been a doddle.

I'd really like to thank each and every one of you who have supported me on my walk - in particular my wife Wendy has walked every step with me (X). A huge thank you to everyone who has sponsored me, and if you haven't yet had the chance to, there's still time to add to the amazing total.

My thanks also go to Penny who suggested I tried this challenge in the first place.

How your money helps

This Christian Aid Week, you can support communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

In places like Guatemala, extreme weather is destroying crops, deepening hunger and threatening livelihoods. But with the right tools and training, farmers can build sustainable futures.  

Every pound you raise could help:

  • Provide climate-resilient seeds to help families grow food.
  • Fund water conservation techniques to protect crops.
  • Support vital training so farmers can build a sustainable future.
