Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am the new curate of the Braunton Mission Community and in July I shall be doing a sponsored walk, not taking any money, food or a tent with me as I walk the 25+ miles that cover the Parish bounds that I shall be working, ministering and living in.

The Parish bounds of Braunton stretch out over 25 miles and include walking through fields and beaches! To the north it goes past Knowle, to the East as far as Fullabrook and Pippacott, to the South it stretches to the end of Braunton Burrows and to the West, past the village of Saunton.

I am hoping to raise £1000 by doing the walk to raise funds for St Brannock’s Church which has recently had to find funding to complete urgent roof repairs costing over £7000, at a time when the Church is already suffering serious financial difficulties.

On the walk I will not be taking any money, food or a tent with me; I will sleep under the stars during the night of my walk and will rely on kind-hearted strangers I meet on the way to provide any food donations.

I decided on this unusual step to be in solidarity with, and also to experience first hand, the challenges that many people around the world face on a daily basis, not knowing where their next meal will come from or where they will sleep at night. I have visited Zimbabwe on three separate occasions and I do charity work with refugees, lepers and orphans in the African country who often live under such circumstances.
