Right now India is the second worst hit country to Covid-19 in the world.

While 10,000 miles might be ambitious for me, I will be getting out every day to walk as much as I can before June 12th to raise money for the Hope Foundation’s Emergency Covid Appeal and Education Programme.

I was very fortunate to go to Kolkata a number of years and see firsthand the incredible work the Hope Foundation does on a daily basis. 

Covid has thrown the entire world a spanner we didn’t expect. We are now in a much more fortunate position than we were before, please think about those who still have a massive struggle with coronavirus.
