Walking as much as I can in one week...., 1 February 2021
In SolidariTee's 2021 Week of Action, SolidariTee will be running, walking and cycling a collective 1157km, symbolising the journey from Myanmar to Bangladesh, a treacherous journey which many refugees are forced to make.

Story

SolidariTee is actually a student-led charity that raises awareness about the refugee crisis and offers grants to organisations and individuals working in the sector. Whilst I am not a student at present, I am happy to try and raise a bit of money for something like this as I am a big supporter of refugee rights. 


From Monday 1 February until Sunday 7 February  2021 SolidariTee's is having it's 'Week of Action'. During this week of action, a number of volunteers will be running, walking and cycling a collective 1157km, which is the same distance as the treacherous journey that refugees from the ethnic group 'The Rohingya' have made from Myanmar to Bangladesh. 'The Rohingya', a minority in Myanmar where forced to flee ethnic violence in 2017, and as of now are forced to survive in extremely basic conditions in camps in Bangladesh.

Volunteers from all across the world will be joining together to walk, run, or cycle part of this journey throughout the week of 1-7 February, with every penny raised being used to fund the grants which SolidariTee has pledged to 6 NGOs providing vital legal aid to refugees and asylum seekers in Greece. I, myself will walk and maybe even cycle as much as I can during this week, and record my efforts on the Strava App.

Please feel free to make a contribution to my fundraising effort if you like.

We support NGOs providing legal aid to refugees in Greece. The asylum process is very complex, so legal aid is vital in enabling asylum seekers to navigate this. We support individuals in reuniting with families and gaining refugee status, allowing them to begin fulfilling lives in new countries.
