On the 11th of November I will be dropped off at John O Groats to hike around 1000 miles over 3 months roughly during winter. Follow my progress on Instagram @gingerbreadharry.

I have been so lucky to travel around the world meeting amazing people, but along the way heard heartbreaking stories from other lgbtq+ people. I have wanted to do the hike for a while but only just stumbled across the perfect foundation, The Naz and Matt Foundation.

Their mission is to never let religion, any religion, come in the way of the unconditional love between parents and their children. By tackling homophobia triggered by religion or culture to help parents accept their children.Naz and Matt Foundation was set up in 2014 following the sad loss of Matt’s soulmate and fiancé, Naz, who took his own life two days after his deeply religious family confronted him about his sexuality.
