Why did, Chillie, an 11 year old English girl to walk 55 miles from Brighton to London?

Aug. 7, 2010 - PRLog -- Chillie did not give up!

Inspired by Charles Dickens' story Oliver Twist, Chillie said "I've wanted to walk to London since hearing Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. When I realised I could do it for charity I started looking for one. After at least a year or two I found rYico. It is a great charity and the work it does changes lives."

"There were moments along the route that perked Chillie up like the heavily laden wild plum tree, the lovely old couple who said great things to her and gave her twenty quid and the moment we caught a glimpse of the City for just a few seconds" said Andrea Goring, a Homoeopathic Practitioner from Brighton who was the grown up who tagged along!

"We arrived in Brixton at 8pm and went to friend Shane's where we were treated splendidly;- shower, sauna a slap up fish supper and great company.  In the morning Chillie was out of clean clothes and Shane produced and old "Justice" t-shirt "Deeds not Words" for her to wear...  she felt very special knowing the significance of what she was wearing” Then it was off to Burning Bread Cafe on Coldharbour Lane where they sell food and cider... It's brilliant and we had probably the best full English breakfast ever eaten! Brixton was in the throws of getting ready for Splash street festival so the bass was fat and there were plenty of people to give the girl as many high fives and big ups as could be."

It's not too late to make a donation, for those businesses it's tax deductible!
