One of our previous participants for our walk wanted to share why he got involved to inspire others to join him:
'Being part of such a worthy endeavour is truly uplifting and inspiring; participating side by side with people unified in our goal of helping those in need. As a parent, we all strive endlessly to ensure our children are safe and provided for - we cannot imagine a world where injustice would affect them' -听Sofian
