Story

2020 was undoubtedly a hard year for all of us - even more so for many charities.

This year I have decided to set myself the daunting task of walking (virtually) The Appalachian Trail - all 1968 miles of it ! 

Why would I do such a crazy thing?  Well, yes I want to improve my fitness and it’s good to have a goal.  Also I have been so inspired by my good friend Charlotte who has this debilitating condition.  She never moans, she just gets on with life and gives her all to everything she does - even when she is feeling rubbish.  She is a truly inspirational person and I am very proud to call her my good friend.

How can you help?  That’s easy - please donate what you can via the page and if possible remember to add gift aid- that won’t cost you anymore, but it will help to add a few extra pennies to the charity.

If you are unable to donate then please share the page with friends and family - please help me raise  a decent amount of money for this worthwhile cause.  I can’t do it without your help.

I’ve given myself a year to complete this challenge - I would like to do it within the year, but I need to be realistic.  I started the challenge in 1st January and have covered 11 miles so far ... there is still an awful long way to go 

Thank you everyone who has supported - I reached my £500 target by February and now want to see if I can make it £1000

Thank you again for reading this and hopefully donating- see you on the next update
