Hi, my name is Ben. On Saturday, 3rd December, I will be walking from Worthing Pier to Brighton Pier and back with my mum. This journey is about 22 miles and should take around 8 hours. It is a completely new challenge for me as I’ve never done a walk this long before.

I am doing this walk to raise money in aid of the British Red Cross. I have chosen to support the British Red Cross because they help anyone, anywhere in the UK and around the world, get the support they need. Almost daily, I read stories of refugees and their families fleeing disaster and destruction as well as others back home dealing with tragedy. So I decided that I wanted to help in any way that I could.

I know that people don’t have very much money right now, so I will be very grateful for anything that you are able to give.

Your donation to the British Red Cross could help in one of the following ways:

£10 could supply.a family with 1,200 chlorine tablets to give them access to clean, safe water.

£24 could provide food for a family of four who have been evacuated from their home by fire or flood in the UK.

£65 could make sure one of our UK emergency response vehicles reaches people when they are needed.

£100 could buy 65 mosquito nets for a community hit by a cyclone.

Thank you very much for your support.

Ben
