Story

UPDATE!

27th June: Well, that didn't go entirely to plan! Unfortunately, I had to pull out of the Cotswold Way Challenge on the start line. An injury I desperately hoped would just go away on the day didn't, and when I hobbled up to the event doctor to ask for help, she gently persuaded me walking any further than to a cab to take me away wasn't a good idea.

I will be back and taking on an alternative Ultra Challenge was soon as possible. All sponsors will get their blood sweat and tears from me! Watch this space for more details...

------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm taking on the Cotswolds Way Ultra Challenge over the weekend of 25th/26th June (my birthday!) - 100km in one go, through the gorgeous but endlessly undulating Cotswolds countryside.

I've done some big walks before but never 100km (62 miles 😬) in one hit... so this is going to need some training, commitment and determination. Knowing you have sponsored me will keep me true to my promise!

Thank you!

Make-A-Wish UK creates life-changing wishes that revive the childhood that critical illness takes away, bringing light and joy at the darkest of times for a child and their loved ones. But right now, there are 60,000 children in the UK living with a critical condition, and they don't have the resources to be that light for everyone. Your generous support will help them step closer to achieving their vision: to grant a wish to every eligible child. Together, we have the power to light up the darkness.
