I'm hiking this weekend to raise funds for safe childbirth and maternity services in Somalia through @Zamzam_UK. Every £20 you donate is worth £40 to the cause thanks to match funding from @LFTrust. Please support me at https://t.co/jcHgJxDOjS
Listening to media coverage of the debate between Christians who support or oppose the Unite the Kingdom movement, I am reminded of the wise word of @ANNELAMOTT...
@Somful1@Zamzam_UK Thanks for your kind words. We are a small team at @Zamzam_UK dedicated to raising funds for the transformative work of @zamzamsom, Somalia's biggest charity, set up by Somalis for Somalis in 1992. Best way for supporters worldwide to support @zamzamsom is via @Zamzam_UK website.
Big thanks to the lovely @nationaltrust staff for being superhelpful in making #ArlingtonCourt#accessible and facilitating an uplifting tour of the beautiful gardens.
@pippagumbel Pippa, you are being impersonated by a fake X account @ Gumbel Pipp 48527. I have reported this to X. Fake account engaged me with words of wisdom and prayer, proposed $9k gift to support my walk of faith/mission, then asked $54 'insurance' for transfer of gift.
Lots of fun celebrating 60 with @ruthcottz and her legendary choc cake. These stickers were meant for wheelie bins, although I am not heading for landfill quite yet. The best is yet to come (it's the hope that kills you) with tickets for @SpursOfficial v @NFFC via @Somerset_Spurs
Thanks for supporting my 50-day 60th birthday challenge to provide clean water through @Zamzam_UK.

A beautiful sunrise, another half-marathon distance in my challenge to provide clean water for 100 #Somali families through @Zamzam_UK, and a donation of £150 that means the target's been reached.
Keep giving...unsafe water kills over 1000 kids a day https://t.co/tVirjy1f2F

Seventeen days and over 350km into my 50-day 60th birthday fundraiser for @Zamzam_UK. You generous people have so far donated nearly £1,200 - enough to provide clean water for life to over 40 #Somali families.
Please keep supporting! https://t.co/N2MBMDIPpG
My trusty pullalong died, wheel shattered, forcing me to carry it instead, not fun - #BackStory. Credit to the nice people in @marksandspencer#Reading who sold me a smart upgrade, waited while I transferred my stuff, took old bag off me, preset new one's combination to #007 !

A misty start to Day 4 of my fundraising challenge for @Zamzam_UK but the goal is clear: to provide clean water for life for 100 #Somali families through a 10k walk + 10k bike + 1.1k swim daily for 50 https://t.co/KbyHloeVT3
Day 2 of my 50-day Challenge for @Zamzam_UK.Today's 10k walk (ahead of 10k bike and 1k swim) was on the seafront at #Minehead in the company of @ruthcottz and lots of darts fans in town for the @OfficialPDC Open. Fancy sponsoring me @LukeTheNuke180? https://t.co/N2MBMDJnfe
Every child should be safe to learn, play and thrive. But in #Somalia:
👉2.5 million children rely on #HumanitarianAid.
👉Thousands are growing up in displacement camps.
👉3 million are out of school.

You know you're very old when cute Ben Brockman from the brilliant #Outnumbered, aka Daniel Roche, has morphed over time into @jayrayner1. I guess being sceptical and demanding about the food at home was good practice.
Exciting times! I've been working this year with UK registered charity Somalia Relief and Development Forum and Somalia's biggest indigenous charity, @zamzamsom, to raise awareness and raise funds from the UK public and the #Somali diaspora. Check out our new @Zamzam_UK website!
Have you seen our new website yet?👀
You can find all the details on our work to help #Somali people to overcome the challenges of climate change and conflict, and to lift themselves out of poverty.
