£1,038 raised — a quarter of the way to Kenya

When I set £5,190 as the target, it was just a number. Then people started donating, and buying things from the shop, and sharing the link — and now the total sits at £1,038.

That's 20% of the way to Tsavo and Diani.

Some of that came from people I know. Some came from people I've never met. I don't take either lightly.

The fundraising has three stages. The first is reaching £2,076 by 1st July 2026 — that's the next checkpoint. Then £5,190 in full by 1st May 2027, two months before I fly in July.

The single most useful thing you can do right now, if you're not already, is share the site. The link is oscarsjourney.co.uk. Or buy something from the shop — the designs were made for this, and every sale goes directly towards the total.

More soon.
