I'm walking 100 miles for Young Lives vs Cancer.

I'm taking on the Walk 100 Miles Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer. I will be walking 100 miles in May to support children and young people with cancer. 

Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. Make a donation and show your support today. 

  • £15 could go towards a grant to cover travel costs for long journeys to live saving treatment 
  • £23 could pay for an hour with a Young Lives vs Cancer Specialist Social Worker. They help families understand and cope with the emotional, practical and financial effects of cancer. 
  • £60 could pay for a night in a Young Lives vs Cancer Homes from Home, a free place for families to stay close to specialist hospitals when their child is going through treatment, keeping families together

Join me in supporting a good cause, your contribution will make a big impact, whether you donate £5 or £500. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support.

5 days 15 miles to go!

Tuesday 27th May
Billy and I have been walking lots this weekend, and Billy has also started doing a morning run 🏃🏼‍♂️to get those miles in!

We have 5 days and 15 miles left to go. It's half term week so we will be getting back out on the downs despite the current weather trying to blow us away!

Thanks for all your support!

Progress update

Monday 19th May
We are just past the half way point of our month of walking, and so far we are smashing it at 68 miles walked. 
Thank you so much for all the donations so far, it's great to see the support for this fantastic charity!

Week 1 complete

Wednesday 7th May
It's the end of the first week of the challenge, and Billy and I are right on track having completed 28 miles of walking. 
We are really enjoying our challenge and it's a great motivator to get out there and clock those extra steps. 
If you'd like to give us some extra encouragement, please consider making a small donation towards Young Lives Vs Cancer, and support the fantastic work they do.

Day 1

Thursday 1st May
Day 1 of  Walk 100 miles in May for Young Lives Vs Cancer

Billy and I are off to a strong start. We've logged three walks on Strava totaling 10.77km (my Garmin watch has an overall total of 16km across the day).

The lovely weather (record breaking!) definitely helped!

Walking for Young Lives Vs Cancer

Monday 28th Apr
Over the course of May, Billy and I will be walking 100 miles - or 161 kilometres - to fundraise for Young Lives Vs Cancer.

This equates to just a little over a 5k walk each day, so it is definitely going to challenge us, but we are looking forward to it.

We will keep sharing our progress, and will be very grateful for any support!
