Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 2019 was a tough year for us. Nearly a year since my husband Suffered a life changing stroke, he has worked tirelessly with positive thinking and has been making some amazing progress.

We have just come home from The Fire Fighter Charity,  Jubilee House in Cumbria from a week’s rehabilitation. It was an intense week with the care and support from the most kind and knowledgable staff so to say a huge thank you to them and give a little something back we thought a just giving page to raise a £1 for ever mile I walk through the year would be a small but valuable gesture. . 

I am doing the #walk1000mile challenge this year, so it made sense to me to give something back to The Fire Fighter Charity in support of all their efforts and help to support our injured servicemen and women that we truly couldn’t be without. 

We can not thank each and every person for looking after us so well and being so kind, it’s given us a well needed break in the most difficult and painful time in our lives. We shall be returning for a further stint in rehab and physio to keep the momentum of recovery heading in the right direction. 

I shall be walking as much as possible and posting my journey throughout the year, hoping to walk some incredible paths I never thought I would, sometimes with cliff by my side (on his scooter) others as a solo walker but whichever way I shall stay determined to make every step count. 

Thank you for your time and here’s to a challenging year! 🐝❤️🐝
