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.

1 mile for every £1

Thursday 29th May
And I've done it!! 
140 miles, 1 mile for every £1 raised! 
I've really really enjoyed this challenge and feel proud that I pushed through the intense post surgery pain in those first two weeks.
I'm so grateful to all my sponsors who have helped toward the grand total of over £63,000 for young lives versus cancer 💪🏻💪🏻

Still going 💪🏻 117

Thursday 22nd May
After a couple of days off with a manic work schedule and a rest of my sore feet, I'm back on it and have hit 117 miles. Hoping for another 22 over the next week to reach my target of matching a mile to every £ raised. 
But happy to push myself further if those sponsorships keep coming 💛

100 miles ✔️

Sunday 18th May
18 days in and I've hit 100 miles 🌻
I've really enjoyed pushing myself for this wonderful charity and I'm excited to see how many more miles I can get in over the next couple of weeks. Thanks for all the support so far 💛💛

Half a marathon

Wednesday 14th May
Over the past three days I have walked two half marathons, plus an extra 5 miles, which I'm pretty proud of. Today's was followed by a refreshing sea swim. I am so fortunate and grateful to be able to do this, and the sponsorships are still coming In...my total aim for miles is currently 139... so another 50 to go.

A family affair

Friday 9th May
A family effort tonight, another 3 miles in their PJs and rewarded with an ice cream. We are so fortunate to have our health and so happy to put it to good use raising money and awareness for those fighting their health battles. 💜

Day four 💛

Sunday 4th May
Only two miles today, with the little legged people, but what a view!! So pleased to already be at 23 miles on day four 🌻🌻 Thank you so much for the sponsorships so far, keep them coming. For all the wonderful family's going through the worst of times 🌻

Up and out with the sun

Thursday 1st May
Up and out with the sun this morning to get the first 5 miles done. Keep those generous donations coming for this wonderful charity 🌻

My 'why'

Tuesday 8th Apr
A couple if times a year I choose a monthly challenge, with an aim to offer financial support through generous sponsorship and raise awareness for charities close to my heart. 
As an adult, facing my own health challenges and diagnosis has been scary and life altering. 
I cannot even begin to imagine what the families, being supported by this charity are going through and I cannot think of a better cause to push myself through these 100 miles 💛🌻💛

Thank you to my Sponsors
