Support Rachael’s 3-Day Charity Challenge, To The East Over The Highest Point on Gran Canaria

Please support Rachael’s epic 3-day walking challange coast-to.coast over gran canaria to help The Food Project in the south.

 

Supporting Rachael’s 69km coast-to-coast charity walk over Gran Canaria’s highest summit to raise funds and awareness for hundreds of local families in need, assisting TheFoodProject.es a volunteer food bank that has been feeding and clothing disadvantaged people for nearly 2 decades, and recieves no other local government support.

“I was diagnosed with a rare, incurable disease on my birthday in 2021 – 19th October, after years of extensive testing and hospitals.

I have now been out of hospital for 2 years having found a way to manage and make myself stronger than ever before. With this progressive illness, I was told I could be in a wheelchair by age 30, at age 32, I hike up 22km and have conquered Mount Teide (nearly 4000m high), and I hope to have achieved the long walk on the day I turn 33.

It hasn’t been an easy journey, and the outlook of the future scares me, but I have learnt to live for now and to embrace my healthy years.

I want to show people that there is ALWAYS hope and to never give up. I want others to have the chance to live a happy life, as healthy as they can, no matter what their situation.”

Description

“I want to show people that there is ALWAYS hope and to never give up. I want others to have the chance to live a happy life, as healthy as they can, no matter what their situation.“

Every donation here helps more than one hundred local families in real need.  The Food Project recieves no local government assistance, and so have to rent their much needed community facility with donations and small grants from the island council. They are supported by The Food Bank of Las Palmas, but they survive only thanks to your generosity.

The project is volunteer-led and they are a vital life line for more than 300 individuals every week, doing much more than just feed empty bellies: they act as a vital community hub coordinating donations of food and clothing, shoes, furniture even mobility scooters, and provide a qualified social worker who helps to guide each individual through their life projects… and so much more besides… here is a little window on to what they have to spend…

10€ contributes to their gaining access to a social worker to help find work, training, education and extra help

30€ supplements a family of 3 for a week with fresh produce

50€ helps buy shoes and clothing for kids going Back To School

100€ is enough to organise a computer for families without access to technology, or pay transport costs for moving furniture, or a range of other much needed assistance all provided by The Food Project.

500€ buys milk, potatoes, juices and fresh vegetables for one week to supplement the rice and pasta etc provided by The Food Bank in Las Palmas

1000€ helps pay for a part time social worker to directly assist individuals and families who have no access to legal advice or ways to escape extreme poverty

2000€ pays the building rent for one month
