“Give – Charity and the Art of Living Generously” is the second book by Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, CEO of Mary’s Meals.

It’s a powerful reminder that charity is not just an act but a way of life, but rather a way of seeing others with love, of lifting burdens, and of making small sacrifices that ripple into something greater.

Many of you know that from May 28th, 2025, I will be walking 96 miles along the West Highland Way in Scotland over 8 days.

But I won’t be doing it alone.

I’ll be joined by 20 of my dearest friends, all of whom I had the privilege of serving alongside in the Belgium Netherlands Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Together, we are embracing this adventure with excitement, determination, and a shared commitment to raising money for Mary’s Meals – a cause close to our hearts.

Each of us has spent months preparing, walking mile after mile, training our bodies and minds for the challenge ahead.

But more than the physical preparation, this journey is about something far deeper – it’s about walking with purpose, with faith, and with love for those in need.

The way we practice charity reflects the depth of our compassion, humility, and willingness to serve – not for recognition, but simply because it is the right thing to do.

True charity isn’t just about donating money; it’s about offering our time, kindness, and understanding.

It is in giving that we receive, in serving that we grow, and in walking together that we strengthen not only our legs but also our hearts.

As Mother Teresa beautifully said, “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

Along the way, we may come to realise that charity is not only something we give to others, but something we, too, need from time to time, whether in the form of support, encouragement, or simply a helping hand.

Many of my friends are travelling from the USA and the Netherlands at their own expense, ensuring that every penny we raise goes directly to feeding children in need.

If you’d like to be part of our journey and help provide a meal for a hungry child, please consider making a donation through the link below.

Together, we can turn small acts of generosity into something truly life changing.

Will you join us in making a difference, one meal at a time?
