For the past three years, Manchester has been my home while studying photography at university. This summer, instead of catching the train back to Bridgnorth, my hometown, I decided to walk the entire journey, photographing my surroundings as I did so. Seventy-five miles, over one hundred and fifty thousand steps, 5 packs of plasters, 2000 photos taken and of course, temperatures reaching up to thirty-six degrees in what was, unfortunately for me, the hottest week in June on record. An arduous walk home, but for such a good cause.  

I chose to raise money for Crisis because, despite any discomfort I experienced on this walk, it is nothing compared to what thousands of people experiencing homelessness go through every day. Currently, nearly £1300 has been raised.
