Kid's Summer Challenge

We're taking on the Kid's Summer Challenge for Young Lives vs Cancer.

Aubree loves the outdoors and wants to use her time outside to help other young people enjoy their time outside too. She would really appreciate any contributions to help her reach her target, every little bit helps. Thank you for your support.

The finale!

Saturday 31st Aug
It's day 31 of our Kid's Summer Challenge 2024 for Young Lives vs Cancer! I'm so proud of Pickle for choosing to raise money for children less fortunate than her. Although she finished the 31 miles a while ago, she continued to record her mileage and logged a grand total of 43.71 miles and raised a whopping £188 - nearly 4 times her original target of £50. There is still time to pop a few pennies onto her fundraising page, https://fundraise.younglivesvscancer.org.uk/.../kids...
Thank you to everyone who sponsored her,
Team Mills 😊

Challenge complete!

Tuesday 20th Aug
Day 20 and Pickle has smashed it! We enjoyed a lovely sunny day at Bristol Zoo so that she could visit her favourite animals.

32.44 miles completed in total during August, however Pickle is planning to carry on so keep your eyes peeled for our final mile count on 31st August!

Day 19

Monday 19th Aug
Millennium Square and We The Curious combined Pickle's love of splashing with her thirst for learning. We have hit 29 miles in 19 days so not far to go now :) Check out her fundraising page here https://fundraise.younglivesvscancer.org.uk/fundraisers/michellemills/kids-summer-challenge-2024

Hippodrome mile

Sunday 18th Aug
Today we went to The Hippodrome to watch our favourite cartoon Bluey on the big stage and then enjoyed a walk around the harbour to burn off some of those show snacks! To encourage her to keep walking a mile for every day in August, sponsor her here https://fundraise.younglivesvscancer.org.uk/.../kids...

Mountain View Ranch

Saturday 17th Aug
We popped over the bridge into Wales today for our mile. We visited Mountain View Ranch where Pickle enjoyed a Fairy woodland, explored the Lost Boys Hideout, bounced on a giant pillow, found all of the characters from The Gruffalo and had a go at archery. To find out more about why she is walking a mile a day, visit https://fundraise.younglivesvscancer.org.uk/fundraisers/michellemills/kids-summer-challenge-2024

16th August

Friday 16th Aug
Pickle had a great time at Over Farm in Gloucester feeding more animals and playing in the woods. We found a giant musical wall, some ostriches and yummy scotch eggs in the farm shop!

15th August

Thursday 15th Aug
It's amazing how far Pickle moves around a park! We are 15 days into this challenge and we have already walked 22.1 miles :) Only 16 days and 9 miles to go - we can do this!

14th Day

Wednesday 14th Aug
Day 14 and we headed into Bath this morning to visit the Lego Brick Paintings Exhibition at the Assembly Rooms. We viewed some Lego paintings, had a go at making our own and then enjoyed some crafting. We also met the artist and helped her to paint her picture of the Assembly Rooms which will be on permanent display from 2026.

Sandy toes!

Tuesday 13th Aug
Another day, another park 🤦‍♀️ I wanted to do something a little more exciting but we're both knackered from all this walking and decorating! To make all this worthwhile, spare a few pennies here and make another child's cancer treatment more bearable, https://fundraise.younglivesvscancer.org.uk/fundraisers/michellemills/kids-summer-challenge-2024
Thank you Team Mills

Keynsham park

Monday 12th Aug
Keynsham was our destination for this mile, Aubree loves to have a look in the sweet shop before heading to the park!

Pizza in the park

Sunday 11th Aug
Pizza has to be our family favourite for dinner and Pickle asks EVERY DAY to go to the park! Luckily for us, a pizza van has started parking up in the pub car park once a week so we enjoyed a walk to get pizza in the park 🥰 To help Pickle raise money for young people battling cancer, click the link

Avon Valley for days 9 & 10

Friday 9th Aug
Aubree had so much fun at Avon Valley Country Park she easily walked 6 miles but unfortunately for her the tracker is on mummy, who sat on a picnic blanket for at least an hour watching 😆🙈

Day 8

Thursday 8th Aug
Day 8 out of 31 and Aubree has walked 12.28 miles out of 31! To see how much she has raised for young people fighting cancer or to add a couple of pennies to her total visit https://fundraise.younglivesvscancer.org.uk/fundraisers/michellemills/kids-summer-challenge-2024

Chipping Sodbury Summer search

Wednesday 7th Aug
We completed the Chipping Sodbury Summer Search for our mile. I have to say I was a little disappointed to see posters with a sport on instead of window displays to show the different sports but we got our mile in and visited our favourite shop so it wasn't all bad 😊

Day 6

Tuesday 6th Aug
Six days in and Aubree is still going out for a mile a day! If you haven't already, she would really appreciate a small donation to https://fundraise.younglivesvscancer.org.uk/.../kids...
Thank you
Team Mills
