Date change!

There has been a change of date for my 10K Run!

 The event organisers have postponed the race for a week due to other events happening around the Olympic Park. 
Therefore the new date for the run is now Saturday 1st July 2017 - at least it gives me another week of training! (28 days to go!!)

 Thank you for your continued support, hopefully we can reach to the halfway point in my fundraising in the next few weeks.

Hello and Welcome!!

Hello and welcome to my blog! The aim of this blog is so that everyone can keep up to date with the fundraising and preparation for my upcoming trip to Zambia, and for me to post updates of what I have done whilst out in Zambia - if the internet allows! A little bit about my story: Back in Summer 2015, I was fortunate enough to have the chance to visit Hands at Work in Africa to experience first hand the amazing work they provide; little did I know that when I set out with a group of my closest friends for those two weeks it would leave such an imprint on my heart. When I left South Africa I knew this experience couldn't just stop there, I had to go home and pray about what was to come for both myself and for Hands. I felt humbled and privileged to have walked alongside and spent time with some of the most vulnerable people in today's world, however what I saw didn't sit comfortably with me, it stirred up emotions and thoughts within me that I have struggled to proces...

Team Meeting Number 2

Yesterday, I went to the second team meeting in preparation for the trip to Zambia. It was a great chance to meet more members of the team, and get to know more about them. We first opened with a short prayer and a bible verse which sums up the principle aim of the trip. "What God the Father considers to be pure and genuine religion is this: to take care of orphans and widows in their suffering and to keep oneself from being corrupted by the world." James 1: 27. After learning a bit more about Hands and the origin of the charity, we all took a little time to reflect and share upon why we have chosen to go on the trip to Zambia this year. It was inspiring to hear about how God is calling us all individually to take this next step in our journey of faith to serve some of the most vulnerable. It then came to the logistics of the trip! We discussed everything from flights to home based visits, from food to fundraising. It was a useful opportunity to discuss any c...

Days 7&8 - The Weekend

I've decided to only write one blog for the weekend, to allow me to spend more time as a team and take some time to relax.  Saturday We were all allowed a lay in today, which was much needed after a very busy week, so the alarms were set for 8am. We all gradually got ourselves up, showered and ready for the day. Becky, Emma and Tom went to the shops to stock up on food for the weekend, and make sure we had things for dinner. When they arrived back to the house, we all jumped into the minibus ready for our trip to Nsobe Game Park. It was a 2 hour journey on 'interesting' road surfaces and the travel sickness stuck again! Luckily we had the ginger biscuits to hand, to settle the rest of the journey. We arrived at Nsobe and all got out at the reception. We headed though and sat by the lake watching monkeys playing and someone fishing, it was so peaceful and a great way for us all as a team to sit, relax and reflect on our time out here is Zambia so far. We then had lunch fr...
