Story

Last year I participated in this amazing and very tough March through Bosnia and Herzegovina for Women for Women International.  The walk and the visits to the WfWI centres had a profound effect on me, therefore I did not hesitate to commit to March again this year.

The photo above is with my two adopted grandmother's, Nura & Refina from just outside Srebrenica.  This year I would like to finish this March in honour of them -- they have touched my heart deeply.  Women for Women International helped these women rebuild their lives after they both lost their husbands and all of their sons during the war.  

I would be thrilled and grateful if you can donate to this great cause and see if once again I can walk 110 km...over a few mountains...in 39 degree heat...and all in just 3 days!

Please HELP us to HELP women survivors of war (like Nura and Refina) move from VICTIM to SURVIVOR to ACTIVE CITIZEN.

The aim of this March to to commemorate all those who lost their lives during that period and to ensure it is never forgotten or repeated.
