Walk strong go team

Alex is putting her best foot forward to end extreme poverty!

Event date: 28th July 2014

Alex Kearney is raising money for Results Uk

My story

From the 28th July - 1st August 2014, I will be joining the RESULTS UK 'Footsteps for Futures' challenge and walking to work all week in solidarity with people around the world who face daily barriers to opportunities and services that we take for granted: the things that enable us to look forward to a bright future.

By the end of the week, I will have walked over 54 km to get to work each day, adding 10 hours to my working week!

As you might know, I am not a regular walker, or a fan of running (which is how I am aiming to return home!), and highly appreciate the extra hour in bed each morning/evening - so this challenge is going to be tough!

That's why I am asking you to please support me as I complete it. More importantly, help me raise valuable funds to support the work of RESULTS UK and join the fight to end extreme poverty.

WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT?

Over 1 billion people live in extreme poverty today, despite the fact that we know the world has all the resources, knowledge and technology it needs to end extreme poverty within a generation. There is simply no reason why people should not be able to fulfill their potential in life.

Learn more about why RESULTS has launched the Footsteps for Futures campaign here: results.org.uk/footsteps-futures. Would you like to join me and complete your own challenge?

HOW RESULTS CREATES THE POLITICAL WILL NEEDED TO END GLOBAL POVERTY

RESULTS will use the money you generously donate to campaign to achieve an end to poverty and hunger; access to a quality education for every child; an end to deaths from preventable diseases; access to basic vaccinations for every child; and access to financial services for every person, which will ultimately help them to live prosperous, independent lives.

If I raise

  • £50, together we help RESULTS to provide in-depth briefings and advocacy trainings to our fantastic grassroots network, so that they can engage their local MPs/MEPs and push important issues up the political agenda;

  • £150, together we enable RESULTS to deliver powerful public campaigns to galvanise action to address issues that are being neglected, yet sustain extreme poverty;

  • £300, together we help ensure that RESULTS can push the UK Government to play a leading role in realising our vision of a world without extreme poverty by taking action to address neglected issues like undernutrition and inequitable access to education;

  • £500, together we help RESULTS collaborate and coordinate with civil society partners in other countries to make sure our voice is heard by political leaders globally;

I believe in the RESULTS model to create long-term change and bring about an end to extreme poverty. The only way we can do this is by generating the political will to do so - and this is exactly what RESULTS does!

Thank you for your support!
