Chris was passionate about education and especially the education and empowerment of women, in her memory we are raising money for Plan International. Chris and her husband John have been long-term supporters of Plan International whose work chimes both with Chris’ aspirations for children and girls and with their common interest in promoting educational opportunities for them in developing countries, specifically on the African continent where they both travelled and had adventures.
