This May, David Middleton will take a million steps around Devon – equivalent to walking and running 500 miles – to raise funds for CAW UK.

Father of four David said: “Around the world you can see how wars and disasters devastate children’s lives – but there is hope. This month I’m raising funds for a small but expert charity led by psychologists that offers hope to these children.

“In May I will be taking a million steps around my home county of Devon to raise funds for this wonderful charity, including being at the Pirate Festival in Brixham on 2-3 May where you’ll find me walking the streets dressed as a giant red parrot. Please come and say hello to the Macaw for CAW!

“Then you’ll find me pushing towards my million steps at Dartmouth Music Festival on 16-17 May and the heritage trawler weekend in Brixham on 23-24 May. I’ll be out on the coastal path too. Throughout May I’ll be hiking, running, walking – probably by the end I may be crawling.

“I’d love local schools and community groups to take part  – you can read all about how to help or to donate on our website at childrenandwar-uk.org.

“My target is to raise at least £20,000 for the life-changing work of Children and War in the UK and overseas. Please come and find me at these events or via my website and help me step up the help for children everywhere.”
