Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am supporting CAFOD in their efforts to bring clean water around the world - every 20 seconds a child dies from dirty water.For the next 2 months every penny raised by CAFOD will be doubled by the UK government so its a doubly great time to give!

I just completed 182 miles along Offa's Dyke  ( well almost -there was one atrocious day in the Clwydian mountains when we had to re route along a busy A road due to atrocious weather forcing us off the mountain ! Did King Offa have these problems - probably yes given the winding route of the dyke!)

We got wet ,muddy, we fell and carried on, to paddle in the icy sea at Prestatyn but was it all worth it ? Of course it was ! 

Would I do it again? Yes but in the 'dry season' ( my friend enquired 'Does Wales have one?')

 

About the charity

CAFOD works with local partners and communities across the world - responding to emergencies, promoting long-term development and raising public awareness of the causes of poverty. We work with people of all faiths and none for a safe, sustainable and peaceful world.
