On June 2nd I will be starting the first leg of my cycle ride from Lands End to John o’ Groats - a journey I hope will take about three weeks. Please help me to support Refuge as I ride the length of the UK.

One woman in four will experience domestic violence at some point in her lifetime and two women are killed each week in England and Wales by a current or former partner.

Refuge supports thousands of women & children on any given day, experiencing domestic & sexual abuse, female genital mutilation, forced marriage, stalking, trafficking, prostitution & so-called honour based violence.

By kindly sponsoring me, you are helping to save and change the lives of thousands of women and children escaping domestic violence.

Thank you.

Ruth
