Story

I am puppeteering a giraffe from Grimsby to Skegness.

The giraffe is called Zarafa, and she's made of carbon fibre with a cardboard skin, so that local people can draw and write messages on her as she goes.

The whole 85km walk will take seven or eight days. I'm carrying two tents, one for me, and one for Zarafa, so we can camp along the way, braving the elements and as we navigate through the Lincolnshire Wolds and across the beaches of East Lindsey.

Protecting these natural spaces is extremely important, so I'm raising money for Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust so they can work on preserving them for generations to come. Please chip in!

This artistic project is kindly supported by Arts Council England. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity.
