I am Walking 100 Miles in May
Fundraising for Nightsafe
Fundraising for Nightsafe
In October 2021 we rescued Bella, a gorgeous little puppy who was living with her 7 siblings in Paralimni Dog Pound in Cyprus. She’s a complete dolly mixture, no fancy breeds in our little pup, but she’s the light of our lives.
Since Bella joined our family, I've become much more active, which has been so good for my physical and mental health during lockdown. This made me reflect on the mental health of others who aren’t as fortunate as the majority of us. What about people who have no family, no prospects ... no home? No hope?
Because of this Bella and I have decided to try to raise a few £'s for Nightsafe Blackburn by challenging ourselves to walk 100 miles in April. Not kilometres ... MILES! To achieve this we pledge to go for walks before work, at lunchtime and after work every day, plus walks at the weekends too. A huge commitment when you're working full time, but with your support I reckon we can do it.
We’ll do the hard work, all we ask is that you support us by sponsoring us a few pounds. Every single £1 counts. Homelessness is NOT a choice, it could happen to any one of us. So please, be a Good Samaritan and sponsor us. Thank you 🙏🏻
