Update 5th June 2020.

Thank you to all our sponsors you helped us raise £395 in total for two great charities, Refuge and Francis House. We diverted east from Vienna and bagged four more capitals finishing off in Ljubljana having travelled 1942 miles!

Our journey took us to London, Paris, Brussels, The Hague, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Zagreb, Ljublijana.

One woman in four will experience domestic violence at some point in her lifetime and two women are killed each week in England and Wales by a current or former partner. Refuge supports around 6,000 women & children on any given day, experiencing domestic and sexual violence, female genital mutilation, forced marriage, stalking, trafficking, prostitution & so-called ‘honour’ based violence. By kindly sponsoring us today you are helping to save and change the lives of thousands of women and children escaping domestic violence.

During the month of May the University of Manchester's Directorate of Planning and Strategic Change Office are aiming to raise money for Refuge and one other charity, we are pooling all our daily exercise miles, walking, running, cycling, while we are on lockdown to make a virtual trip to as many European capitals as we can make. 

We started in Manchester and are pooling our miles to head to London (179 miles), Paris (412 miles), Brussels (588 miles), the Hague (684 miles), Berlin (1107) and beyond.

Our family and loved ones we are staying safe at home with are joining us too. A true team effort to work together, keep connected and try and raise as much money as possible for two amazing charities, Francis House Children's Hospice and Refuge.

Please support us, we know it is a challenging time personally, financially and health and wellbeing wise but we'd really appreciate you donating whatever you can, to whichever charity. Thank you.
