Story

<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Hi everyone......</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">On 29 April I'm going to start walking <strong><em>197&nbsp;miles </em></strong>across England, from St Bees&nbsp;on the west coast to Robin Hoods Bay on the east coast, in support of <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Home-Start Havering<span style="color: #0000ff;">. </span></strong></span></span><span style="color: #0000ff;">I'll be walking through the Lake District, over the Pennines, across the Vale of York, and up and over&nbsp;the North Yorkshire Moors. Thats 10 miles a day&nbsp;across the hills and mountains, and 23 miles a day on the 'flat' bits.&nbsp;If it all goes well it will only&nbsp;take 12 days!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><em><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #ff6600;">Home-Start Havering&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #ff6600;">supports young families by helping them to overcome terribly difficult times in their lives. Our Home-Start volunteers, who are all parents themselves, work with&nbsp;families to help protect their children and give them the best possible start in life.</span></span></em></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;"><em>Parents supporting parents; its a simple idea that really works. One Mum supported by Home-Start said 'without the help of Home-Start, I wouldn't be here now, and my children would be in care'.</em></span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;"><em>&nbsp;</em></span></strong>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #ff00ff;"><strong>At Home-Start we are totally responsible for finding our own funding to provide this unique&nbsp;service, so I would really appreciate your donation, large or small!</strong></span></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><strong></strong>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">So please dig deep and donate now....</span></p> <p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Thank you everyone!</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><em><span style="color: #0000ff;">Steve</span></em></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><em><span style="color: #000000;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe&nbsp;&ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to&nbsp;Home-Start 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&nbsp;<span style="color: #ff6600;">Home-Start</span>.</span></em></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
