Gill Hicks, a survivor of the 7/7 bombings, has walked from Leeds to London for peace, on prosthetic legs

Their Walktalk project is an initiative to bring together Muslims and non-Muslims working for peace and tackling extremism and intolerance together. They have walked from Leeds to London via 22 towns and cities including Luton, from where the bombers took the train to carry out their suicide mission.
