A woman will be walking almost 100 miles to help raise money for a Bristol charity which supports children and young people at risk of exclusion. The charity is close to Sophia Brown's heart because of the experience she had with her own sons when they were at school.
Sophia, a qualified walking instructor who set up her own walking group, Steppin Sistas, is used to long walks but rarely walks more than 10 miles. It’s a challenge that she has thought about doing for a long time and is now looking forward to supporting a local charity which is entirely self funded.
Sophia will be walking alone along the Kennet and Avon canal. It will be the first time she has done a walk of such scale and she is expecting to complete the hike in five days, stopping at B&Bs along the way and hopes to raise £2,000 for her chosen charity.
