Rachel’s 3 month hike
Rachel has just finished her epic 3-month hike around the Welsh coastline, walking over 1050 miles. Along her way she was sometimes joined by friends, family and even WRC staff.
“This wonderful organisation supports people who have travelled from unstable homes, by much more uncertain journeys and set up new homes in Wales – a Nation of Sanctuary.”
Rachel raised over £6,800!
Mari, Emyr and Elin hike equivalent of Mt. Everest
Mari, Emyr and Elin walked the equivalent elevation of Mt Everest by hiking up Mynydd Enlli on Bardsey Island (168 meters) eighty times in the month of August 2022.
“The three of us feel strongly that Wales should be a nation that welcomes refugees and supports them in every way possible and we admire the work you do to make that possible.”
Their goal was to raise £500 but through their commitment and the generosity of their supporters, they raised over £1500!
Ifor’s walking challenge
Between 8 June and 6 July 2023, Ifor walked 270 miles from Cardiff, to his home in Caernarfon. Millions of refugees are walking similar distances – from Eritrea to Sudan, from Syria to Lebanon, from Ukraine to Poland – in the hope that there will be a home for them at their journey’s end.
Ifor raised an incredible £3,472 for those most in need.
