Story

Challenge12 - Challenge Andy......One Last Time!

Well the final year of Challenge12 has actually crossed over two years and now we are here for one final push to raise the last funds and finish work on our orphanage in Kwahu Nteso (Ghana). We are attempting to build a self-sustained orphanage, where children can feel safe and supported. The project will also benefit the local community by creating jobs, supplying clean drinking water and offering a range of other activities to benefit the community as a while.

It's taken longer than planned due to learning what the hell we are doing, political instabilities both in UK and Ghana which influence the cost of stuff and various other factors but we are here with our last push!

I've actually done 11 of the final 12 challenges already but just for a last hoorah I will be doing the three following things:

  1. UK National Three Peaks - August 18th - COMPLETED
  2. Rough Runner Obstacle - September 8th - COMPLETED
  3. Kilimanjaro - October 11th to 21st

This project has been so close to my heart for the last 2 years and I'm so very determined to finish it and get it doing what it was meant to do: help those children in need.

I was lucky enough to visit Kwahu Nteso in 2018 and was touched by how wonderful the community is and how badly they need this facility.

You've all helped me time and time again and so hate asking you again but if you are able to spare any money it would be so appreciated you don't even know.

(I promise Challenge12 is over after this!!!)

Thank you for everything
