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.
http://walkacrossborders.blogspot.com/
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

Details of Day 21 of 21 - Harlow to Peacehaven via Royal Court of Justice
Day 21 of 21 of Tandem Across Borders on 9th September 2022... If all goes to plan, this is OUR LAST DAY...
We will start the day in Harlow and will cycle to the Royal Court of Justice in London where we will stop for a couple of hours to hopefully meet up with friends and supporters of the two charities we are trying to raise funds for.
Our stop at the court is part of the awareness campaign against parental alienation, parental child abduction and the abuse of the family court systems.
For me personally, this resulted in my daughter being separated from her paternal family for over a decade and, sadly also, permanently stopping her from seeing her paternal grandmother who passed away shortly after Walk Across Borders in 2015.
This is not quite the end of our journey though as we are still going to cycle to Croydon, Earlswood, Crawley, Brighton and complete our journey at Peacehaven.
Route Points:
Harlow - Royal Courts of Justice London (41km)
Royal Courts of Justice - Croydon (19km)
Croydon - Crawley (38km)
Crawley - Brighton (36km)
Brighton - Peacehaven (11km)
