Kate Rollings and two friends took part in the London2Brighton Challenge on 24/25 May 2014, walking 100km through the night from London to Brighton. Kate raised over £1,500 for RIPPLE Africa’s fuel-efficient cookstove project, and this is what she wrote about her experience:
“It was certainly a CRAZY challenge to say the least!! Weather was a mixture but it was a great experience – the hardest thing I’ve ever done, by far! I’m just so over-the-moon at the support we received – people have been unbelievably generous, and it has certainly inspired me to do something like this again. I’ve never seen so many blisters – my team-mates’ feet were a real sight at the end of the race. After 29 long hours of walking, I went straight home to bed and slept for 14 hours solidly! I was aiming to raise enough for 100 cookstoves – but am delighted we’ve raised enough now for almost 160!!!”

Well done, Kate, for an incredible effort and for raising so much money for the cookstove project!
