Join me on the bridge!!

Regular readers will know that I teach English to a group of predominantly Congolese asylum seeking women and that I did a run last year in aid of Women for Congo Women which is a part of Women for Women International. It's an awesome charity which helps women around the world rebuilding their lives in some of the most desperate places on earth. Well I'm delighted to say that the charity has asked me to join them on the Millennium Bridge on International Women's Day this Thursday and then speak at the rally afterwards at the Royal Festival Hall. There are loads of other cool speakers too - watch their website for details! And you can come too! All the info is here - hope to see you there!

Instant Karma!

Feel good about yourself right now, in your seat/pyjamas/office (delete as applicable, maybe all three). Mr Cru and I are running a 10k in aid of an ace charity that supports women in war-torn Congo (DRC). And you can sponsor me right here right now on this page! Think how good you'll feel when you've done it! And much much appreciated by me.
