Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm walking a Pilgrimage from Coventry Cathedral to Bath Abbey in September 2023, a distance of some 200 miles. It's to celebrate my 70th birthday this year - and to raise money to help support the work of IJM, International Justice Mission.

IJM was founded by Gary Haugen, who was a member of the church where I served in ministry in Virginia. IJM is now a global organisation, partnering with local justice systems to end violence against people living in poverty, with the aim TO END SLAVERY, TRAFFICKING AND VIOLENCE.

By giving, you will help send freedom, protection and justice to people in urgent need, and help IJM's local teams and partners walk with people who have experienced violence and slavery so they can rebuild their lives in freedom.

I'd love to raise £10 for every mile I walk. Would you help me do this and together we can support IJM and their valuable work around the globe to help those who need it most and end slavery, trafficking and violence.

UPDATE: 83% of my total of £2000 has been given even before I start the walk! THANK YOU, thank you - that's amazing! SO my friends said raise the total and set a new goal of £3000. Will you join in and help me make it and give even more help to those IJM are working with?

Thank you in advance for whatever you're able to donate. I'll be posting on my social media accounts (Facebook, Insta) at the end of each day's walk, so you can follow my progress there!

And do come and join me for a day of walking along the way if you'd like to - and maybe have your friends sponsor you too to add to the amount we can raise for IJM.
