The Route
Across England
339 Miles.
18 Days.
One Purpose.
Sport is meant to be a place where you can just play, no pressure, no judgement, just freedom. But that wasn’t always my experience.
That’s why I’m doing this walk. To create environments where no one has to think twice about being themselves in sport.
The walk may begin in April 2027, but the journey has already started. Follow along as I train, prepare and share the stories behind every mile.
MY STORY
I'm Jack, a passionate football fan and campaigner for inclusion in sport.
I created Steps Against Homophobia to challenge discrimination in football and help build a future where everyone feels welcome.

Through a 339-mile walk from Axminster to Liverpool, I hope to start conversations, connect communities and show that sport should be a place where everybody belongs.
HOW DONATIONS HELP
Steps Against Homophobia is an independent awareness campaign led by one person with a simple goal: creating a more inclusive future in sport.
Donations help support:
• Accommodation during parts of the walk
• Website and campaign costs
• Awareness and educational resources
• Food and practical walking essentials
• Future development of the project
I am also personally contributing to the challenge by covering additional costs myself and staying with friends and family where possible.
