I'm raising vital funds for Mercy UK — a charity that helps people live free and stay free. And I'm doing it by taking on the final 100k of the Camino de Santiago. For centuries, the Camino de Santiago has been a journey of reflection, perseverance, and faith—a road where pilgrims find renewal and a deeper connection with God, themselves and others. Each step taken is a symbol of the struggle and strength required to walk a path toward healing. In the same way, those on their own Freedom Journey with Mercy UK navigate a road filled with challenges, but one that leads to restoration and freedom.
“Before Mercy UK, I was in a dark place. I felt alone, like I was stuck and couldn’t see a way out. But through the Freedom Journey, I found people who walked with me, who believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself. I found my faith again, and I started to heal. It has been the hardest, yet most freeing journey of my life.”
Through Mercy UK's Freedom Journey, individuals are given the tools, support, and counselling they need to find hope and healing- completely free of charge! So I'm walking the Camino de Santiago in solidarity with every person currently on Mercy's Freedom Journey programme and everyone waiting to start, because no one should have to walk that path alone.
