Story

Hey!

I'm really lucky, I can afford to rent a place in London, which I call home. But I also call my parents house in Somerset home. So I basically have two homes... too many people don't have one. I am going to set out on a walk, in the summer, from my place in North London (N22), and walk all the way to Somerset (TA8) to try to raise funds and awareness for people who aren't as fortunate as you and I. 

Searching on Google Maps, a walking route would be 145 miles, and walking at 3.5 miles an hour, is over 41 hours of walking!  I'd love to raise at least £5 per mile, which would be a massive £725 for an amazing cause.

I will be carrying everything I need on my back, and will be sharing lots of videos and pictures along my way on my instagram @thateddchap. If you would like to help my sanity and you can see I am coming somewhere close, I'd love you to come and walk a few miles with me!

In 2018 4,677 sleeping rough on our streets which is almost 3,000 higher than a decade a go. If you walk pass people sleeping rough, begging for spare change, and want a different way to help. Please donate here.
