''You never really understand a person until you consider things from [their] point of view...Until you climb inside of [their] skin and walk around in it.'' - Harper Lee, To Kill A Mocking Bird.

The Cornish family will complete the 180 miles coast to coast walk from St Bees, Cumbria to Robin Hoods Bay, North Yorkshire.  Mum, Dad, 5 kids (age 4 - 12 yrs old) and a grandad (72 and counting) will 'walk a mile in the shoes' of families who have been displaced through war, famine, fear or persecution.  Over 16 days (come rain, shine or blisters), we will peak mountains, traverse valleys and hike through moor and woods.  We’ll be raising money for refugee families who, unlike us, had no choice but to leave their homes – families just like ours and yours.

Our chosen charity, Refugee Action York (RAY), offer practical aid, emotional support and an open door to men, woman, children and
families without discrimination.  Hear their stories and follow our intrepid journey either online or by our side. In true British style, let us stand (or walk) together in welcoming our newest countrymen to England’s green and
pleasant land.
