MOBO award-winning singer-songwriter and music teacher Fola walked the length and breadth of London following the city's tube network to raise money for the Haiti earthquake relief effort.
Christian Aid and United Haitians in the UK are two charities working in Haiti who will benefit from the proceeds - hopefully £2,000.
Fola will walk a length of each of the 13 tube lines, totalling 150-200 miles.
She started at Upminster at the east end of District Line at 08.00 on Tuesday 25 October and hopes to finish the walk on 31 October.
To date, she has completed 8 of the 13 lines (Central, District, Hammersmith and City, Victoria, DLR, Waterloo and City, Overground and Bakerloo Line). Today she will complete Metropolitan and Piccadilly Line.
Tomorrow she will complete the Jubilee and Northern Lines and on 31 October, she will end the walk by walking the route of the Circle Line.
Fola is keeping supporters updated about her progress via regular real-time updates on Facebook and Twitter.
Please get behind this extraordinary walk and give generously to the cause. More than 220,000 Haitians lost their lives and over 300,000 more were left injured in the horrific earthquake. With the recent cholera outbreak, your help is still desperately needed.
