My goal is to walk 118 miles over the course of spring and summer to raise awareness, support, and money for the 18 Keys Project which provides a great opportunity to transform an existing hostel in London into a model of its kind for women who have experienced the trauma of long-term street homelessness.
We are now in extreme circumstances with more women living on the streets, isolated from their friends, families and loved ones - it’s not an easy situation for anyone to find themselves in and I often say to myself how lucky I am to have the love and support of so many people.
The shortage of specialist provision for women is particularly acute and women in this group are unlikely to reach their 43rd birthday...
All funds raised will help us prove a concept that in turn will encourage other parts of the country to offer and create these types of facilities.
