Meet Keelan, whose journey supporting Kidasha began in 2016 at the age of 14. It all started with a simple bake sale at his village fete, followed by a sponsored ‘Everest Run’, where he ran 17.6km around his local village.
But Keelan didn’t stop there. He organised a football penalty shoot-out game, facing over 600 penalties! Keelan raised over £1,100, making a significant impact on the lives of children in urban poverty in Nepal.
Fast forward 8 years, and Keelan is still going strong.
In April 2024, he took on Brighton Marathon in support of Kidasha. Despite facing challenges during the marathon, including collapsing due to overheating with 10km left to go, Keelan persevered. After a 45-minute break, he received the green light to continue, crossing the finish line.
Through his incredible efforts and generous support from family, friends and colleagues, Keelan raised over £1500 to give marginalised children in Nepal access to safer, brighter futures.
If Keelan’s story has inspired you to make a difference, we invite you to explore our Get Involved page or reach out to us at enquiries@kidasha.org.
