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.

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

Day 5 - Barcelona (tomorrow Aleyah's 17th birthday)

Tomorrow is my daughter Aleyah's 17th birthday... As an alienated parent I find the best way for me to cope with the situation celebrate the day as best I can in her absence..


We were supposed to be on day 5 of Tandem Across Borders - Spain to UK and approaching Barcelona in support of a charity Parental Alienation Awareness. Unfortunately, a health scare put an end to that plan.

However, as we have every year since she was retained from any contact (well over a decade ago), we have gathered cards and gifts for the day that we are reunited.. Hopefully that will be soon!

I have also sent cards and gifts to the address I think she has recently moved to but do not know for certain. No gifts throughout the years since she was taken again have ever been acknowledged.

This photo is taken in the bedroom we have decorated for her. It was taken on her birthday last year... Because it is HER room... and it is HER home whenever she wants it to be...


Tomorrow, as I do every year , I will be trying to celebrate her birthday with cake and candles... It is tough... it really is... and I am sure there will once again be tears...

However, I keep the hope that she is of the age now where she will reach out to her paternal family who love and miss her wholeheartedly.

I hope she sees all of the messages, posts and realises that I am here for her. I always have been... I ALWAYS will be... and I know that NONE of this is her fault.

I hope that her maternal family get the help they need to take the cold heartedness out of their lives and promote her loving relationship with her paternal family who miss her so much.

They need to put an end to this alienating behaviour which they will know has been abusive not only to her paternal family but to Aleyah also.

I always wonder if they have and guilt, remorse or regret but surely, if they did, this would have been resolved by now. 😪

I hope she has a wonderful day... I am so so proud of her and everything she has achieved so far in her life. I love and miss her wholeheartedly.

One more day closer!!!!!
