World Vision 40 Hour Challenge

Hi everyone!

Welcome and thank you for supporting me in my 7th and final year of the 40 Hour Challenge 2026. This year brings my greatest challenge yet - I will be walking 40km (basically a full marathon!!) in 40 hours. This is a carry-on from last year's challenge, in which I walked everywhere for 40 hours, travelling a total of 13km. It will be a challenge but one worth taking up to make a difference in the world.

This year, I'm raising funds so families in the Solomon Islands can get the seeds, tools and skills they need to grow crops to feed their children in a changing climate. 

Did you know that across the Pacific, 1 in 6 children are living with serious food shortages? In the Solomon Islands, families have always relied on their gardens and fishing for everything they eat. But the rising seas are flooding gardens, crops are becoming less predictable, and fishing isn't as reliable as it used to be. 

While the situation seems dire, we can still make a difference for those in need. Your donation will directly gift kids in the Pacific with the nutritious food they need to grow up healthy and strong in the incredibly uncertain times.
