Age of Reason was invited by Grazia Magazine to the first ever Save the Children mile long charity walk, part of "Born to Walk Tall". The event today was raising awareness about much needed healthcare services worldwide, and honouring the people who work in the field. Save the Children aims to encourage groups around the country to organise their own mile long walks to raise money for the 8 million children who die every year due to lack of treatment.

Samantha Cameron headed up today's walk from No. 10 Downing Street to Somerset House alongside Dr Hajara Kera, a leading Nigerian midwife who works for Save the Children. The newly announced British Fashion Award nominees like Sarah Burton, Christopher Bailey, Christopher Kane, Charlotte Olympia, Erdem Moralioglu, and a handful of new designers (like us) joined the fun and flamboyant debut walk.
Apart from everyone wholeheartedly supporting the cause, and wanting to contribute creatively, there was also a sense of excitement at being allowed into No. 10 at all. Nobody from fashion did a knickerless twirl or said anything too inappropriate on this official occasion. But we had a great time anyway!
