💫 Why We’re Doing This

Last year, we raised funds that supported schools, hospitals, and homes across the Motherland. This year, we want to go even further.

All proceeds will go directly towards:

❤️ St. John’s Boys Home (Batticaloa) — providing shelter and education for orphans.

💙 Hope Autism Centre (Trincomalee) — supporting children with autism through care and education.

💜 Sartha Elderly Girls Home (Jaffna) — helping elderly women live with dignity.

🏥 Hospitals across Jaffna, Trincomalee & Batticaloa — supplying essentials and medical aid.

💷 How You Can Help

We’ve got a big goal — but we can’t do it alone.

Even £5 per person makes a massive difference.

If all 3,000 of you following this journey gave just £5 each, we could raise over £15,000 — enough to change lives back home.

We’ll be documenting every mile, every struggle, and every laugh from the London Eye to the Eiffel Tower to show what can happen when community, purpose, and belief come together.
