Myself and my mum will be taking part in walking 62miles in May for Refuge charity.

As some of you may know I was subjected to years of abuse in a previous relationship. Myself & my daughter had to flee our hometown with nothing but the clothes on our back and a little bag which my employers at the time ever so kindly provided us with.

We’ve had to rebuild our whole life, which we couldn’t have done without the support of family, friends & these amazing people.

This healing journey is a long process and there are daily battles mentally, however if I can give even a small amount back, to help other women & children who have been through the same as us, then that would be a massive achievement.

Many of you know I am VERY unfit to say the least 😂 but hopefully walking these 62 miles, with my best friend (my mum) and raising money for this charity will have just as much a lasting effect on myself as it will other women and children.

The statistics below speaks for itself.

Someone you know, work with, love would have/will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime.

Please, if you could spare even just £1 to go towards this charity, we would be forever grateful.

THANK YOU❤️
