Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been busy training, building up my distance and taking part in a few half marathons to prepare for the mammoth challenge ahead! 

With the starting line fast approaching I would be delighted if you were able to show support no matter how small for Farm Africa for the charity to help farmers in African grow more, sell more and sell for more. Please see the list below for some examples of what a donation can do.

We believe Africa has the power to feed itself, and we need your help to make this a reality. Please give what you can.

Thank you for your support,

Many thanks,
Michael Lyttle
