She later travelled to help me in Southend, and when Brighton came around, she did it again, travelling six hours and staying in a hotel with her amazing son Theo just so they could help me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI genuinely could not have done it without them. Getting all of the equipment from my van, along the seafront to the event and then all the way back again would have been almost impossible on my own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBrighton also tested me in ways I wasn’t expecting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBefore the event, I was attacked by someone who smashed the windscreen of my van. I had to get it repaired, pick myself back up and somehow find compassion for the person who had done me wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThen, shortly after the event, my van’s engine decided it had reached the end of its life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI was exhausted, my van was broken, and suddenly I had to summon up the faith I’d been mantraing throughout this entire tour:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEverything will be okay.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhat happened next became one of the greatest demonstrations of what this journey had created.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor months, I had travelled around the country bringing people together. Now, for the first time, I needed their help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI sent an email to the people I’d met and connected with across the tour and set up a GoFundMe to help pay for a replacement engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWithin three days, the target was reached.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe community I had travelled around the country trying to support had turned around and supported me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMy van was fixed, the journey could continue, and I was once again on my merry way — free as a bird.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhich brings us to the painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor Brighton, there could really only be one choice: a seagull, also inspired by Brighton \u0026amp; Hove Albion, affectionately known as \u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ethe Seagulls\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnd, of course, being Brighton, this is the only painting from the entire tour with glitter in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThank you for so many lessons, Brighton.
