Everyone should have the right to education…. you can help make that happen with Bali Children Foundation.

So, here we are again! I'm gearing up for another 84 km Ultra Marathon across Bali, an overnight journey that pushes my limits. But this isn't about personal achievement. It's about supporting the vital work of the Bali Children Foundation and making a difference to the lives of children.

Your donations directly benefit local communities in Bali. When you sponsor this initiative, you're giving children in challenging circumstances the opportunity to receive an education. Basic education keeps them in school longer and paves the way for higher education and technical training. The Bali Children Foundation has already helped thousands of children complete school and improve their futures.

The foundation provides English, environmental, and computer studies in 76 communities across Bali, Nusa Lembongan, Lombok, and the Gilis. They also train teachers, ensuring quality education.

I've been involved in the English as a foreign language program and have visited schools, witnessing the impact of your donations firsthand. But there's more work to be done.

Last year the Bali Hope Ultra runners raised an impressive $100,000 for Bali Chidlren Foundation.  Thank you to everyone who supported me personally and donated, I really value your support. These children are our future, and providing them with opportunities now can lead to remarkable achievements.

My goal this year is to raise more money and more awareness - As part of my ongoing work  with BCF my aim this year is to provide a literacy pack to every child the foundation supports, containing a small whiteboard, pens, alphabet letters, and essential resources for phonics, reading, and writing. 

In the coming months, I'll keep you updated on my Ultra Marathon training, the highs and the lows! And also the EFL work I am doing with BCF. Please stay engaged and reach out if you have any questions or want to make a difference. Together, we can create brighter futures for these children.
