My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

My daughter, Rachel, and I are again taking part in the annual pigrimage from London to Canterbury to raise money for the Connection at St. Martin's. We intend to walk 55 miles from Swanley to Canterbury from the morning of Saturday 23 May and the following Monday afternoon. We made it last year!

If sponsoring a middle-aged, overweight man or his fifteen year-old daughter to walk is not enough incentive then remember that the Connection at St. Martin's does vital work with the homeless, vulnerable and disadvantaged in the centre of London.

Thanks to the major renewal of the buildings at St. Martin's the Connection now has bright, modern spaces within which to carry out its vital work. But working with 7,000 people per year requires considerable funding.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Connection at St Martin's gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now!
