Just sorted out a route to ride with a colleague from nia for tomorrow's Ride For Murdered Women. So grateful to see those of you planning to take part. Thank you.
If you can't ride but you would like to donate, you can do so here justgiving.com/fundraising/je…

The funds shown as raised is the incredible running total from @JeanHatchet's work in riding to commemorate women who have been killed by men and in doing so to raise funds for nia to help women escape violent and abusive men.#RideForMurderedWomen

This thread, instigated by Jean, is women in their own words describing what being in a relationship with an abuser felt like and did to them. It breaks my heart to read it.

A huge THANK YOU @JeanHatchet for supporting nia and your work raising awareness of men's violence against women.
Also, a massive thank you to the women working at @nia_endingVAWG and every other specialist MVAWG charity for all you do in helping women & girls change their lives.

I'll miss the sisterhood of the joint ride last year (fingers crossed for next year) but I'm really looking forward to seeing photos of those of you who join in. Please upload - if you're happy and able to share with #RideForMurderedWomen and your vague location.

The photos last year were incredible. Wear red if you can.
