If anyone hears this I am walking for #refugees to raise money for #refugeeaction which do great work.

You can sponsor me here and I'll double every donation I get.

Walking a 100 miles in a month isn't really much of a thing compared to what refugees go through...

This is a fantastic podcast from #refugeeaction which contains some heart breaking interviews with refugees and also brings to light the stupidity of the British #asylum system. Great work.
