I will be walking 62 Miles in March for Refuge. On any given day, Refuge supports thousands women and their children.

62 miles is the average distance women have to move to be safe after domestic violence.

I'm taking on this challenge in March to fundraise for refuge after my own and my children's past experiences with domestic violence.

It's a very lonely place to be being in an abusive relationship. And you get to stage you find yourself thinking you are the one in the wrong and it's your fault and you deserve it. And there's no way out of it.

I'm lucky. We got through it with lots of support and I've got two great sons who are grown up now and make me proud every day. They fantastic and amazing. And I'm doing this for us.

I'm hoping by raising funds for refuge more women will be able to get the help they need quicker and escape domestic violence and have a safe place to go and get support needed.

Just £15 could provide essentials for a woman arriving at a refuge.

Many arrive with little more than the clothes they are wearing. Your donation could provide essentials like toiletries and food to help a woman through her first night.

Every £1 makes a difference. Thank yo
