Most of you will know that I love walking but I don't think I have ever really pushed myself. So with my friend Mark I will be walking almost 40 miles of the South West Coast Path from Newquay to St Ives over 3 days.  Its going to be hot with plenty of hills and is rated as difficult. I'm not sure how I'm going to manage without Nathan 'the Packhorse' Wheelhouse to carry my bag of supplies including the essentials such as sweets and chocolate fingers.

I have decided to do this to help raise money for refuge. Two women a week are killed by a current or former partner every week in England and Wales. Having worked in a Homeless Persons Unit for 8 years meeting many women who are in abusive relationships I have seen the difference charities such as Refuge can make.

Some of the services Refuge provide are:  a Freephone 24-hour National Domestic Violence Helpline, emergency accommodation for women fleeing abuse, and Independent Domestic Violence Advocates who provide expert guidance for women going through civil and criminal courts.  To find out more visit: http://refuge.org.uk/
