Two friends and sure we both enjoy a jog like the next woman... but this will be a vertical, off-road, compass-demanding, country-spanning, slog as we're attempting to Trail Run the Three Peaks.
Fundraising pageWe are running for PLAN. We support their Global commitment to advance women's education, children’s rights and gender equality. Many problems in the world today, social and environmental, would improve through female education and empowerment. No one puts it better then David Attenborough: "The one source of comfort and its only a tiny thread, is the knowledge that wherever you empower women, wherever they have the vote, wherever they have the education, wherever they have the free will and are in charge of their own lives and not dictated to by men, the birth rate falls...dealing with all the other social problems that many people and places have. And that is a shaft of light, but its only a very thin shaft."
