This April, I’ll be embarking on a meaningful journey to Kenya — my mother’s birthplace — to give back through the power of sport. As a sports therapist, I’m joining a team of professionals to support young athletes in boxing, volleyball, basketball, and football, helping them perform, recover, and thrive both physically and mentally.

We’ll be partnering with GLADS House, an inspiring charity that supports youth in Kenya through sport and education. Together, we’ll be training six local staff members in the fundamentals of sports therapy — focusing on mobility, recovery, and common muscular issues. Our goal is to create sustainable change by sharing knowledge that will continue to benefit the community long after we’ve gone.

Your support for this GoFundMe will help us deliver this essential training, provide equipment and resources, and ensure these athletes have access to the care and understanding they deserve. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to empowering young people with the tools and confidence to reach their full potential.

This cause is especially meaningful to me, as Kenya holds a personal connection through my mother’s roots. Returning to her birthplace and contributing to the growth of young athletes is both a privilege and an honour. Since losing my mum, this trip has taken on even greater significance — it’s become a profound way to honour her legacy, channel my energy into positive impact, and find healing through service to others.

Thank you for helping us make a lasting difference and for being part of this incredible journey ♥️
