Story

Having been struck by COVID-19, I spent most of March in bed recovering. While ending up in hospital twice during my recovery, I experienced the incredible work the NHS were doing to help battle COVID, and launched a campaign to donate 100 pizzas to the NHS during the months of April and May as my way to give back to them.

As part of my recovery I started walking, and have consequently decided to challenge myself to walk 500km to help raise some money for another great cause. The Fine & Country Foundation are dedicated to battling the causes of homelessness and aiding those who are affected by it. Homelessness is a cause close to my heart, and in our town is very prevalent.

It’s up to all of us to do something in one way, shape or form. I have set a target to raise £1000, and I'm asking you all to sponsor me so that together we can raise some money for this incredible cause.

About the charity

The Fine & Country Foundation has been created to help combat one of the largest social issues in the UK – homelessness. Last year, the Government estimated around 2,414 people sleep on the street on any one night across England, a rise of 36% over three years. Often the reasons for homelessness are misunderstood, with many blaming the individuals for poor life decisions and carelessness. The reality is: people become homeless for a whole range of complex and overlapping reasons that cannot be avoided, such as family breakdowns, mental or physical health problems or debts. Solving homelessness does not only involve putting a roof over people’s heads, it is also trying to tackle the root of the problem and asking the question: why did they became homeless in the first place? The Fine & Country Foundation is dedicated to bringing together all Fine & Country agents in over 300 locations worldwide to raise awareness of the causes of homelessness whilst supporting homeless charities.
