Between August 12th and 20th, Cath is undertaking a 75 mile Sponsored Walk in the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean. The route goes from Ross on Wye via Symonds Yat and Monmouth past Tintern Abbey towards Chepstow and then northwards through the Forest of Dean and back to Ross.

Funds raised will go to Christian Aid to support some of the 5 million refugees from Syria most of whom are now living in Lebanon and Iraq, with a small amount going to other development charities including FOMO and Traidcraft Exchange, a charity which aims to develop and promote the sale of Fairtrade goods..

Everyone is equal in the sight of God. Yet we live in a world where poverty still persists.Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of their dignity and lets injustice thrive. But together we have the power to transform lives. For over 70 years, we’ve been standing with the poorest of our neighbours. We work in 37 countries, with people of all faiths and none, to stand up for dignity, equality and justice. We stand together with our global neighbours. Together we can create a world where everyone can live.
