I’m not putting it off any longer. I’m taking the DofE Diamond Challenge right now. Sponsor me and help transform the lives of vulnerable young people.

My DofE Diamond Challenge is in the form of completing my Gold Award, as I never had the opportunity whilst I was young enough (and as it is my 30th year, to have a challenge)! My award will consist of:

Volunteering: Guiding - as a Brownie and Guide leader already, I will continue this (12 months)

Physical: Cycling - I will be cycling the Devon Coast-to-coast in May, and I will set another challenge for the end of the year (12 months)

Skill: Training in order to become a county trainer for Guiding (6 months)

Expedition: On Dartmoor with a group of DofE leaders.

Residential: Sailing with the Rona Sailing Project in the small ships race in August

Please donate as I have seen first hand how the DofE benefits young people, especially those with additional needs. Watching a participant bloom with confidence and independence whilst pushing themselves out f their comfort zone is just amazing, and that is what it is all about!
