Story

I have done a number of charity runs cycles . It helps me keep fit and great for my mental health . I work for this amazing Charity that provides free health screening for the people of Guernsey . Although based on the hospital site they get no funding from the states at all . 

After lockdown I concluded that I’m much better at exercising if I do it for Charity ( then I won’t give up) . And , to keep me really fit I needed something that would last a while . When I saw the idea of doing the Appalachian Trail virtually I knew this was the one !!!! And it was about time that The Chest and Heart unit benefited!  

I won’t finish till 2022 so hope I can raise a decent amount in that time for a really worthwhile cause .   

Thank you for reading .
