Hi my name is Emily and I am planning to complete the Yorkshire 3 Peaks in April to raise money for KEEP Kenya to help build a new classroom for the early years children in Kipsaina village, Western Kenya

I will cover 24 miles and climb Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside, ascending 1585m in total and hope to finish in under 12 hours, with a stretch target of under 10 hours. This is considered one of the hardest challenges in the UK and I aim to run as much as I can!

In the summer I am returning to Kenya on a volunteering trip to help build an additional classroom in the Saiwa community. Having seen firsthand how big the class sizes are and the lack of facilities in rural schools I know what a big difference this will make to the local children. Any additional funds raised will be used to provide rain water harvesting tanks in an additional 3 schools.

I would be very grateful if you would consider sponsoring me and donating to this very worthwhile cause - thank you!
