Story
I have set myself the challenge to walk 500 miles from 1st March to 28th May (anniversary of mums death) it’s my Mother’s Day gift to Mum, she said keep spreading the word and raising funds for The Christie. Little did we all know at that time that the Pandemic was going to be so long. So for our Hope and all those fighting to beat Cancer please help with whatever you can. Thank you, I shall post updates as I am only counting focused walks not everyday miles covered (making it a little more challenging!) ❤️Updates
End of Week 12
23rd May 2021Only 5 more days to go! 473/500 miles completed. Last push now, thank you so much for the continued support and donations. Together we will continue to raise money for #TheChristie ❤️❤️
End of Week 11
16th May 2021433/500 miles completed. Only 12 days left... it’s been so hard but nothing on those going through their cancer journey. Thank you for all the support and donations almost there ❤️
End of Week 10
9th May 2021394/500 miles completed. Only 19 days left! Only £55 away from meeting my £2000 target for The Christie and only £162.81 away from our overall target of £10,000 by 28/5/21 (a year since mums death) Got quite a lot of walking to still fit in but I know with your continued support I can keep these feet moving! Thank you again and let’s see if we can smash this target together ❤️☺️
End of Week 9
2nd May 2021365/500 miles completed. I am only 9% away from my target for £2000 by 28/5/21, 1 year since mum died. All donations very much appreciated. Finding it hard as we enter May... thank you again for all the donations so far, kind words and wonderful company ❤️
End Of Week 8
25th April 2021325/500 miles completed!! Not long to go now until 28th May. It’s been a hard challenge so far, not just trying to find time to fit a long walk in everyday but also the different weather conditions. However I have had some more lovely company this week to keep my feet moving and the kind messages are great to read after a long day ❤️❤️ Please help me to reach my target, anything is appreciated
End of Week 7
19th April 2021293/500 miles completed. Thank you so much everyone for the continued support I am blown away, not far off target both miles and donations!! ❤️❤️
End of Week 6
11th April 2021257/500 miles completed. This is a testing challenge which has seen me walk in every weather early morning and late at night. It is nothing like the struggle many families are going through as they continue to fight cancer. If I can help one family from loosing their loved one too early and feeling the pure emptiness I feel everyday then that is great. Together we can make a difference. Please donate anything you can, it is so very much appreciated. Thank you to all those who are continuing to send messages of support and the donations so far. You are the ones keeping me going. All my love ❤️
End of Week 5
4th April 2021213/500 miles completed. This is additional miles to work and at home so has been a challenge to fit in around the girls but worth it! Thank you for the incredible donations so far! I am hoping that by the time we get to a year anniversary of mums death (28/5/21) and the end of my challenge, together we will have raised £10,000 in a year for The Christie via mums page. Your kind words have kept me going and your donations have kept me putting on my walking boots and stepping out in all weathers day/evenings! So if you can spread the word, donate and let’s together support those who are going through the fight with Cancer! All my love to you and your families this Easter ❤️
End of week 4
28th March 2021175/500 miles completed. Today marks 2 months before mum died, it’s weird to think this time last year she was still here. Had some lovely company across the week/weekend as I continue on this challenge! Thank you so much to all those who have sent kind messages of support and donations. It means more than you know. If you have anything to spare, please help me reach my target via mums page. Love to you all❤️
End of Week 3
21st March 2021132/500 miles completed. There has been sunshine and rain, early mornings and late nights. But every step is getting me closer to the end goal! Thank you again for all the support and donations so far ❤️
