Stamp Out Prejudice, Hatred and Intolerance Everywhere
On Saturday 17th June, myself and a friend will be taking on a 17 mile hike over 7 hours across the beautiful but very testing terrain of Hadrian's Wall. We'll be travelling along the Whin Sill from the Roman Army Museum to Chesters Fort!
We have both chosen a charity close to our hearts. I will be attempting to raise money for the Sophie Lancaster Foundation, who do so much to raise awareness with young people that it's ok to dress and look exactly how you want to, without being judged by other people.
Sophie Lancaster was a young woman who was murdered for being different. She and her boyfriend were creative, artistic people who dressed in their own unique way. They were attacked by a gang of five boys in a park in Bacup, Lancashire on 11 August 2007. The gang attacked Sophie’s boyfriend first and then turned on her, carrying out a brutal and sustained attack. Sophie remained in hospital for 13 days, before following medical advice, the family agreed to life support being switched off. Sophie died on 24 August 2007; she was just 20 years old.
