This will be my 8th year raising money for BBC Children in Need. I started raising money back in 2015 and I was only 13 years old. I remember being a child watching the appeal day each year and wishing I could do something to help. The stories I heard touched my heart and some things were heartbreaking to hear. I just knew I had to make change even if it was a small difference it would help.

Each year I would bucket raise and dress up in a pudsey onesie. I have done raffles and such things as guess the teddy’s birthday and guess how many sweets are in the jar. The past few years I completed challenges. The first challenge I ever did was ‘75 mile run in 30 days challenge’ , the following year was a ‘24 hour gym challenge’ after that was ‘pudsey vs blush challenge’ this involved numerous different things as it was in 2020 I was unable to bucket raise. Last year I took the challenge I did previously and done ‘100 mile run in 30 days challenge’ and that takes us to this years challenge. To complete ‘Scotland Titan Trail (570,095) steps in 30 days challenge. 

I could not have done this on my own so I want to say a thank you to every single person that has helped me each year. A huge thank you to anyone who has donated and supported me in the previous years.

Anyways let’s go 2022, to raising as much money as we can. Thank you everyone and hope you enjoy following along my challenge. 🫶

I'm doing what I love, with a fundraising twist for BBC Children in Need. Together we can support children and young people across the UK to rebuild their lives.
