Story
Before Covid-19 and lockdown I was performing In 'Pretty Woman' the Musical, we were only officially open for 2 weeks when all West End Theatres were forced to close on March 16th and overnight our industry was turned upside down. While I have been lucky enough to still make ends meet so many of my theatre community have fallen through the gaps and not received any financial assistance from the government. Please support me on this Coast to Coast Walk, trekking 190 miles from one side of the U.K to the other with my 3 pups Wolfie, Magic and Roxie. The trip will take 3 weeks to complete but I hope we can raise some much needed funds for the artists that really need some support.
I have chosen to raise money for 'The Royal Theatrical Fund' They provide support to those that have worked professionally in the entertainment industry with '
The Theatre Community Fund' being established to directly support the theatrical artists and professionals whose livelihoods and creative futures have been threatened in the wake of Covid-19.
I will be documenting our whole journey on instagram.com/aimieatkinson so you can follow our progress with daily updates.
Right i'm off to get a raincoat! and some serious walking boots!
