I've been feeling challenged lately to "walk in someone else's shoes". I've been trying to figure out what that sentence means. Over the weekend I realised I can literally walk in someone else's shoes; someone who has nothing.

My original plan was to wait till Lent as that's a time for trying to see other perspectives but no. 1 I really want to do some fundraising over the summer and no. 2 I can at least use the summer as a (hot) dry run before trying it in freezing February!

This may seem a bit mad, walking around the streets, going to museums or weddings with no shoes on but if I can raise awareness and funds to do something a bit different over my summer then why not?!

Yasmin lives in Chad, in a part of Africa where an estimated 5.9 million children will suffer from acute malnutrition in 2016. One in five children here don’t make it to their fifth birthday. This is a crisis.

I’m fundraising for Tearfund to help make sure families like Yasmin's can survive and go on to live secure and fulfilled lives. Please sponsor me to help tackle extreme hunger.

Every £5 I raise can help a child like Yasmin get a nutritious meal every day for a month!

Together, we can change the world for children like Yasmin. Read more of her story at www.tearfund.org/

(Disclaimer; for the, hopefully rare occasion I may be refused entry somewhere or I'm facing really perilous ground I *may* have a pair of flip flops to hand just in case. Please don't let that stop you from sponsoring me though!)
