My story
Our focus on devotional activities and personal improvement during the Lenten Season, whilst undeniably valuable, can sometimes result in an excessively inward turn - yet we must always remain mindful of others, especially those less fortunate than ourselves.
CAFOD encourages both of these worthy aspects with its charitable 'Big Lent Walk' initiative. Essentially, I commit to walking 200km - principally the 135km (84m) of the Hadrian's Wall Path in my case - over the course of Lent to inspire plenty of self-examination, whilst raising money for the needy at the same time.
Every pound donated goes towards the fight against poverty globally in countries like Afghanistan, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan - so please do give generously if you are able!
