In April I plan to walk the 70-ish miles between my childhood home in Sussex and my current home in North London. It should take around 24 hours and will be for the most part a solo venture, but with company for the night hours. 

I've been planning this for a while, but in the wake of recent demonstrations of violence against women - the erosion of every woman's right to feel safe walking alone - I'm now asking for donations to Solace Women's Aid, a charity that helps women and children in London build lives free from abuse and violence.

Please consider donating, if you're able.
