We've accepted the 50k Your Way challenge! This means we'll be pushing ourselves to cover at least 50 kilometres during October.

But we need your help to make every kilometre count! All the money we can raise through sponsorship will support the charity, Hope and Homes for Children. Orphanages don't protect children, they harm them, so Hope and Homes for Children work across the globe to keep children out of institutions and in loving families, where they belong.

If we can raise just £258 with your help, together we'd cover the cost of tracing the birth families of six children currently confined to orphanages. This is the first major step in reuniting these children with the people who love them. Please join me in consigning orphanages to history in our lifetime.

Thank you.
