My story

On 4 May, I ran the Belfast Marathon in support of Christian Aid's 70k in May campaign. I finished in 2.45.46, placing third woman overall and the first woman from Northern Ireland. Now I just have to manage 28k for the rest of the month!

This Christian Aid week is focused on helping communities fight the climate crisis. 

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/€25 could buy two pounds of climate-resilient seeds, diversifying a family’s crop and increasing their resilience against the effects of the climate crisis.

70k in May encourages everyone to cover 70k over the month. Please support me, or start your own challenge!

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.
