Story

Hi all,

I am doing a challenging sponsored walk from Filey to Staithes, which is 44 miles along the Yorkshire Coast (Cleveland Way).

I am raising money for Chaffinch to support the charity in providing food, shelter and education to children living in Kibera, a Kenyan slum. No child should be without these three things and Chaffinch do amazing work to support these children.

I previously acted as a trustee of the charity and can absolutely vouch that the money really does go on the ground to support these children and the charity to deliver community led projects.

Chaffinch are a small charity based in York and every little really does help!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page and thanks in advance for any support.

Wish me luck!!!
