Our Journey

In 2015, we completed a journey between Orihuela court and London Royal Court of Justice on foot. 44 marathons in 44 days with the hope of raising awareness of parental child abduction and parental alienation and also, on a very personal level, to show my daughter that I would travel the world for
her.

On that occasion, we raised funds for the Reunite
International Child Abduction Centre Charity

This time, with our cycle, as well as having another attempt at raising awareness of these issues, we hope to help to raise funds for another charity Parental Alienation Awareness (1187738) who aim to raise awareness, educate, & campaign against this form of child abuse that needlessly disconnects children, parents, & their extended families.

This, many of you know, I can directly relate to...

We are hoping to raise £2000 to help with publishing and distribution costs in the production of parental alienation awareness brochures.

The link for donating to this charity is :

I understand the covid situation has caused financial hardship for many.. Charities like this are also finding these times extremely testing.

If you cant help financially, thats ok. But could I ask that you share my JustGiving page link so others can help to support this worthy charity?

Thanks all xx

Sponsor one of the 21 days??

In organising this event, we knew that there might be a few additional expenses such as finding a safe place to rest/sleep at the end of each day.

Tandem Across Borders
Perfect Face Studio

With the help of my partner Michelle, we have managed to personally fund some of the hostels en route. 

These have averaged approx €35 each night which does not seem a lot, but it does mount up over 21 days.

With this in mind, I wondered if any companies (or individuals) would like to sponsor a day to help with those expenses.

Day 1 is sponsored by Perfect Face Studio . Izabella and Anna have been so much support right from the very beginning when I said I was going to complete this challenge and this continued even when we had to postpone due to Covid restrictions. 

I appreciate their support so much. Thank you ladies.. 😍
