UPDATE: by Sept 4th, before beginning the walk, your generosity meant that I was over 80% of the way to the total of £2000 that I wanted to raise for the work of IJM (see below) - £10 for each of the 200 miles I’ll be walking. Thank you, thank you -that’s amazing!

(you can donate here)

Would you help me reach a new total - together we can support IJM and their valuable work around the globe to help those who need it most and end slavery, trafficking and violence.

My family & friends said to raise the total and set a new goal of £3000. Will you join in and help me make it and give even more help to those IJM are working with? You can donate here

So yes, I’d hoped to post each day’s progress here on my blog. But I’ve now discovered that I can’t do that from my phone - and I don’t want to carry a laptop in my backpack. My daily updates will have to be on Social Media - Facebook and Instagram. Pop on over to see how I’m doing! (penelopeswithinbank on both)

And you can help me reach my goal for IJM here
