Story

I've tried to get into running in the past, never getting much further than 2k.  But over the past few months have finally understood why people love it so much and am currently up to 7.5k in my training, without finding it too hard.  I'm loving having some time to think, notice, be energised and feel alive.  

So I'm doing this for me but also to raise money for the Kimbilio project funded by Congo Children Trust.  I've been a trustee for CCT for 8 years and it's been a privilege to see Kimbilio start from a seed of an idea and grow into what it is today…a day centre for children to have food, wash, play and learn at the Cathedral, two transit houses for children who have the possibility of being re-connected with their families and Maison Kimbilio, a permanent home for girls and boys who are unable to return home.  Kimbilio helps over 100 children a week to be the children they are meant to be through providing caring staff, health, education, accommodation and much more.  All of this really important work is funded through grants, individual giving and fundraising events like this.
