My story
I’m taking on 70K in May to help communities fight the climate crisis. This means I’ll be covering 70 kilometres in whatever way I choose, in solidarity with millions of people who have to walk long distances for clean water or to sell their produce.
In Guatemala, farmers like Aurelia are battling extreme weather, but with Christian Aid’s support, they’re learning skills to protect their farms and provide for their families.
Your support can help fund this vital training. Just £20 could buy two pounds of climate-resilient seeds, diversifying a family’s crop and increasing their resilience against the effects of the climate crisis.

Day 3 of the Two Saints Way: Stafford to Stone. Clocked up 21km. Lovely sunshine today - beautiful yellow irises on the Trent & Mersey canal. I have covered 70km over the three days and the trains have come up trumps! 🚶♀️😎
Day 2 of the Two Saints Way: Cannock Chase to St Chad's Church, Stafford. Pretty soggy weather, but no harm done! Clocked up 24 km and no major complaints with the trains. Hoping that my boots will have dried out by tomorrow ....! 🚶♀️☔ 😂
Day 1 of my walk along the Two Saints Way: Lichfield to Cannock Chase. Clocked up 23 km, including walking to & from the train stations. All trains ran to time - deo gratias! 🚶♀️😄
I have clocked up 168 km just walking locally around Yardley. Tomorrow I set off on my pilgrim route from Lichfield. Day 1 is a walk to Cannock Chase and Hednesford before returning home by train. Rain is forecast, but hopefully not too heavy! 🚶♀️☔😄
