My Hope interview

I was Recently interviewed for the Hope for Children website, take a look and don't forget to check out  the amazing work that Hope for children do with  the link below http://www.hope-for-children.org/newsandevents.php#177  HOPE is lucky to have some incredible fundraisers who work exceptionally hard for the cause. Sarah Bishop is one such person. She is aiming to complete 30 challenges, all to raise funds for HOPE. People like Sarah don’t come around every day so we thought we would conduct a question and answer session with her. Here is what she had to say: How did you come across HOPE? I was looking for a charity that stood for all the things I believe in and Hope does the most amazing work both in the UK and developing countries. Why did you choose HOPE? Hope really stood out for me with the work they do, I did some research in to the charity and their projects which help poor orphaned and exploited children all over the world and realised that it was also a local charity to me. I think every child has the right to a decent start in life, the right to have clean water, food in their bellies and education and to be safe with a roof over their heads and more than anything they have the right to have hope or a future. Why are you doing 30 challenges? I am doing 30 challenges as I turn 30 next year! And I thought it would be a great way to mark the occasion and raise a massive amount or money for charity at the same time, I have always loved doing things for a good cause and this time I really wanted to push myself to the limit and I am sure 30 challenges will!! What challenges are you doing and which are you most excited about/looking forward to? I am really excited about the skydive, I have always wanted to do one and have convinced 34 mad people so far to jump out of the plane with me! All to raise money for Hope for children I also can’t wait to trek the Great Wall of China, I think it will be the most amazing and challenging experience. Here are a few of the challenges I am doing but if you want to see a full list of booked challenges then have a look at my website: A mud run, Skydive, Eton 750m open water lake swim, Windsor 1500m  open water river swim, Great British 10k run, HSBC dualathon, London to Paris bike ride, Full kilomathon, Trek the great wall of China, Abseiling , Silverstone Half marathon, Everest base camp trek, Full Marathon, Blowdry-athon at Clipso hair and finally to Give Blood are some of them! Which challenge is your biggest fear and why? I am extremely needle-phobic so the most personal challenge to me will be to give blood, It is something I have always wanted to do as I have a rare blood group but I have never been able to as I could never ever even come close to bringing myself to do it. I spoke to an amazing Lady called Linda who is a Hypnotherapist who has a Harley Street clinic and she has offered her services to help me overcome my fear free of charge to help me raise money for HOPE. Wish me luck!!!! You can follow Sarah’s progress by following her on twitter, liking her on facebook and visiting her blog. Please do support her if you can.

Gino D,Acampo wishing me luck! I'm a lucky girl!! :)

So what do you think? do you wanna join in with any? let me know below!!!

Why am I doing this!!!

I consider myself as one of the world extremely lucky people, I was born and raised in England and have always had a world of opportunities on my door step, I consider myself lucky because there is so much suffering in the world, people suffering from malnutrition due to lack of food, no clean water to drink, no shelter, no education, woman and children suffering from abuse and simply a basic lack of human rights that every human being on the planet should be entitled to.

I sat at home wondering what I could do to make a difference in the lives of these people how I could help give people, especially children, hope. Everyone deserves hope, everyone deserves to dream and everyone deserves opportunities, I believe that providing people with their basic human rights, the right to an education, the right to eat, the right to drink clean and safe water and the right to have self-respect and to be treated respectfully by others is something that we should all work closely together to help achieve.

I decided that I would set myself a challenge to raise as much money as possible to help children suffering around the world, I came across a charity called Hope for Children that runs amazing projects around the world and I have set myself a task, it’s called Challenge 30, I am hoping that Challenge 30 will raise a substantial amount of money to help the charity Hope for Children, helping them to make a difference.

With my 30^th birthday soon approaching I have decided to dedicate my 30^th year to help children, I will be completing 30 challenges over the year including treks, runs, a skydive and facing my biggest fear amongst plenty of other crazy things in return for sponsorship for the charity Hope for Children

Thank you for taking the time to listen to me

Love and best wishes
