Pilgrim’s Progress to Rome!

You can walk for the charity Life as they walk with women in crisis, creating a world where no one faces pregnancy or pregnancy loss alone. Life are inviting people of all faiths and none to join Pilgrim’s Progress to Rome.

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.

Kerry Smart, CEO of Life, says, “At Life we walk with women in some of the most challenging situations they will ever encounter, faced with unexpected pregnancy and pregnancy loss. “I really encourage anyone with an adventurous spirit and a willingness to support women to take on this walking challenge. “Life is a charity for women and families facing unexpected pregnancies. We offer counselling, housing, practical support, and educational services. Our mission is to create a world where no one faces pregnancy or pregnancy loss alone.

“We’re asking you to raise funds by walking with Life on this pilgrimage, so we can continue walking with women in crisis.

"We look forward to you joining us on this fundraising journey!” This exciting opportunity is open to anyone who wants to challenge themselves to support women by raising funds and awareness in this unique way. The eight-day trek in Autumn 2025 has only a limited number of places available.
