‘And I would walk 100 miles… 🎶’
Today we’re celebrating the wonderful Ruth, who recently stepped out to walk 163km for Tearfund – a phenomenal 100 miles!
Taking in the stunning landscapes of the Borders Abbeys Way, the Lomond Hills, the Eildon Hills, and a section of the West Highland Way, Ruth completed her trek with a little help from her sons, raising vital funds to support Tearfund’s work.
Reflecting on her journey, Ruth shared ‘I’ve been supporting Tearfund on a regular basis for a long time. What I love is that Tearfund supports people living in the most vulnerable situations by equipping and energising whole communities to work together to bring about change for themselves and their neighbours – through local churches.
‘I love that people are inspired to look around them to see what resources they already have in order to flourish and improve their circumstances. I also love how communities are working together, with help from their local churches, and thriving as they look after each other.
'I know Tearfund has a goal of reaching many more churches and communities with their transformation programmes, and I want to help them reach that goal.’
Thank you, Ruth. Your dedication and support are helping to restore hope and transform lives!
If you’d like to fundraise for Tearfund, we’d love to hear from you. 💛
