Life, the charity supporting people facing unexpected pregnancy and pregnancy loss, have decided to mark the year of Jubilee 2025 announced by the Holy Father with our own contribution to the ‘Pilgrims of Hope’ theme.

Life are inviting people of all faiths and none to register their interest in a fundraising trek to Rome, to raise funds and awareness in this unique way.

The trek is part of an ancient pilgrimage route which goes from Canterbury to Italy. Trekkers will be walking a 110km stretch of the Camino via Francigena pilgrim route. For modern walkers it has come to symbolise a time of reflection, learning, self-discovery and fresh starts.

Travelling in the footsteps of so many others, as well as exploring some lesser-known parts of Italy, each step will be raising funds to support women facing unexpected pregnancies or pregnancy loss.

Please read their full Press Release dated 31 July 2024 here.

Life is a national charity that helps and supports anyone affected by pregnancy-related issues. This includes women and families before becoming pregnant, those who are pregnant, those after pregnancy, and those who’ve experienced pregnancy loss or post-abortion issues.
