PLEASE HELP ME RAISE FUNDS FOR A HOMELESS CHARITY<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

I am taking on this challenge to raise \u00a31000 for a homeless charity in Wales which is run by my daughter Bonnie.<\/p>\n

Housing Justice Cymru mobilises Christian action on homelessness and housing need through love, justice, advocacy and nurture. They really do excellent work. I will make four pilgrimages to holy places this year starting with a mini pilgrimage from Llandaff Cathedral to the holy shrine and statue of Mary at Penrhys in the Rhondda. My final pilgrimage will be to some Orthodox monasteries in Greece. I aim to complete all four between June and December this year.<\/p>\n

Please donate to this good cause. The link to my JustGiving page is<\/p>\n

I have pledged to raise \u00a31000 for homelessness in Wales this year and any more will be very welcome by this charity.<\/p>\n

My four pilgrimages will be as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Llandaff to Penrhys \u2013 a 21 mile walk from the door of Llandaff Cathedral to the medieval shrine at Penrhys in the Rhondda valley where there is a fine statue of Mary, known as Our Lady of Penrhys.<\/li>\n
  • The Monk\u2019s Trod from Strata Florida to Abbey Cwm Hir \u2013 across bleak mid Wales! This is a 25-mile route linking two former Cistercian monasteries and follows the historic track used by monks, workers, merchants and officials of the Cistercian order who would walk, ride on donkeys or mules, or even travel on slow moving ox carts in dry weather.<\/li>\n
  • St Cuthbert\u2019s Way from Melrose to the Holy Island. This is 62 miles of varied cross-country walking from Melrose where St Cuthbert began his religious life to Lindisfarne his final resting place.<\/li>\n
  • A week on the Holy Mount Athos in Greece clearing the pilgrim footpaths. Members of the Friends of Mount Athos meet up to clear the historic paved paths linking the 22 monasteries there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    I will be most grateful for a donation however large or small.<\/p>\n

    Best wishes<\/p>\n

    Alun Davies DL, Honorary Consul of Hungary.<\/p>\n
