Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.&nbsp;</p> <p>On&nbsp;16th April I'll set off from St Bees in Cumbria to walk 193 miles on my own across 3 National Parks and some of the most beautiful countryside in England. No doubt along the way I'll encounter all that the great British weather has to offer; many fellow walkers; and&nbsp;a lot of sheep.&nbsp;&nbsp;All being well, I'll arrive in Robin Hood's Bay in Yorskshire on Monday 1 May, having achieved something that I've long wanted to accomplish.</p> <p>The Camphill Family is a wonderful charity that I've supported for a few years.&nbsp; There's a real sense of joy about the eleven communities and the people who live there, and what they can achieve. How vulnerable people and those with special needs, who find it&nbsp;difficult&nbsp;to thrive in our modern materialistic society, can grow and develop together in trust and friendship, while living and working together. .&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
