Why HEAL Africa?
On a daily basis I work alongside many charities helping them to raise much needed funds. One of our company clients mentioned HEAL Africa to me and ever since I have wanted to learn more about their work.
I came across an inspiring book, Half The Sky and I found it hard to stand back and do nothing after reading the harrowing stories of women in the Congo!
I believe that sex discrimination, rape and prostitution are huge problems that are not talked about often enough but which we all need to acknowledge and address.
Living in a world where all women have a choice, an access to education as well as health care should be our aim nowadays.
I have paid all my entry fees and travel expenses, so every dollar raised will go directly to this worthy cause!
This is my first Racing the Planet race and I have been training for the last 6 months.
I would love to raise USD 8000 for HEAL Africa.
Please spread the word to your friends and family and through Facebook and your Twitter accounts!
Many thanks
Nat
