I recently read 'Broken by Love' by Val Jeal and was moved, inspired and challenged by her story. Val was the founder of the charity One25.

I really want to help make a difference in the lives of these traumatised and marginalised women.

So, as it's my special birthday in July, I'm getting involved in My One25 Miles challenge to support the work of One25. I am challenging myself to walk 125 miles throughout July. Please can you help me to raise vital funds for this worthwhile charity?

One25 is a Bristol women' charity which reaches out to some of the city' most marginalised women. One25 support them to move from crisis and trauma towards independence in the community. Wherever they are in their journeys, we give love and practical support, without judgment or expectation.

£20 could pay for a week's Freephone service to the outreach van, giving women a direct lifeline to vital support.

£6 could stock the outreach van for a night, giving women the vital nourishment and supplies that they need.

£70 could support a woman to complete a homelessness application, supporting her to enter the homelessness pathway and get the housing support she needs.
