Hello and thank you for visiting the page!
Anyone who knows me will know walking has never been my strong suit so this lockdown I am challenging myself to walk 120km in just 1 week to raise money for Leeds Women's Aid.
Why 120km I hear you ask...
During the first lockdown in March calls to domestic abuse hotlines increased rapidly to a rate of 120 per hour. That's one every 30 seconds. It has been a difficult year for everyone, furlough, job losses and money issues have affected us all but I feel incredibly lucky to have a comfortable, safe and loving home to have spent lockdown in but this is not the case for so many women living in the UK.
Leeds Women’s Aid is an independent charity, providing services to women and children affected by Domestic Violence & Abuse. They provide a range of the very best services for vulnerable women and families who are victims and survivors of: domestic, sexual & honour based violence and abuse; forced marriage; trafficking; stalking and harassment.
