Weekend no. 4 - No Shoes Crew and KOP Santa Dash


This weekend has been incredible!!! :D 


Saturday

I had a lovely time catching up with friends in Cardiff and making new ones with the No Shoes November crew at Woody Baptist Film night. Featured here other than myself is; Alex White and Andy Davies raising for Edith's Home Uganda and Lucy Avery and Matthew Boswell raising awareness for all the charities.







Sunday

I joined up with the KOP Cardiff 2014 team and did the 5k Santa Dash .. BAREFOOT!! It was hard running as I haven't been running since before my trip to Kenya in August! But after 1k I started to get new cuts and was lucky enough to pick out the glass from my feet before it caused too much damage ..
















We ran around Cathays, Cardiff in our Christmas 
fancy dress. We received lots of attention and took lots of photos on the way ...
A BIG shout out to the new KOPpers, Caitlin Armstrong, Lucy Gibb and Charlotte Curtis who joined myself and Sarah Roberts (KOP Cardiff President) in running and starting their fundraising.
So a HUGE well done to them. They looked incredible in their Santa Outfits too and already they have donations on their Justgiving page! Anyone reading this at Cardiff University thinking I missed out! Then look us up on https://www.facebook.com/CardiffKOP or send an email to kopafrica.cardiff@gmail.com. If you would like more information on the KOP Student Programme or whether there is a society at your uni or a uni near you then go to http://www.kopafrica.org/student-programme



Sunday -Tuesday is exciting for me as a lovely friend from Orchestra back home is doing 3 days of solidarity for No Shoes November!! Rhian Griffiths is doing AMAZINGLY! She deserves all the support she can get! She is posting my justgiving page http://www.justgiving.com/lucynoshoesnovember  and I've already received donations from her friends, I am SO grateful that she's raising awareness of extreme poverty in Royal Holloway University! I hope that her friends, classmates and lectureres are understanding and supportive. Lots of KOP love for you Rhian. Diolch yn fawr! Cariad mawr! 

Thank you for all the donations over the weekend, they really mean the world to me!!
Only 6 more days to go!!
