Two years ago, Keda and I did a sponsored walk for Cancer Research dressed as 'The Two Fridas'. This year we're taking on a new challenge, and will be walking 10k for the Red Cross dressed as Jan van Eyck's 1434 gem, the Arnolfini Portrait.

We'll be walking through the streets of London in ridiculous and really very impractical garb in the hope that it will inspire you to sponsor us, and donate to this excellent cause.

In over 190 countries, they help anyone, anywhere, who needs them.

Whether it’s supporting people through the conflict in Ukraine, helping those whose homes have been destroyed by storms in the UK, or supporting people who’ve lost everything after the earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria, the British Red Cross strives to get them the help they need.

Please sponsor my walk. However much you can give, your donation will help people who desperately need support.

£5 could provide water sanitation and hygiene training that helps people to stay healthy after a disaster

£10 could provide mosquito nets to a family in Nigeria, protecting them from diseases like malaria.

£20 could pay for essentials for a new parent in the UK who’s lost everything during flooding.

I’m walking for humanity because I believe every person deserves help in times of crisis. Together, we are the world's emergency responders
