Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. My name is Karen Laurenson and I am aiming to trek the 778km/500 mile Camino de Santiago and raise funds for MYMY.

MYMY do a lot of great work in our local community. I am funding the trip myself so that 100% of donations go to the charity. I love hiking and getting out in nature, it is so important for people's mental health.

The Camino route starts in St. Jean France, over the Pyrenees mountains and continues across the north of Spain finishing in Santiago. Along the way there are various Albergos/Hostels which we book as we arrive depending on how far we hike every day (average 23.5km per day carrying our rucksacks all the way! I am due to set off on April 5th 2022 and it should take approximately 5 weeks!

This is quite an adventure for me and I can't think of a better charity to be doing it for!
