So far, they have raised £1,070 for charity Baca which works with youngsters who have been separated from their family either through trafficking or war.

Domenico, 35, wants to raise £7,250 by the time the walk is finished in November.

They are doing a blog on their walk on Facebook. Search for Long Walk Home.
