Throughout the whole of March, I’m setting myself a challenge of walking a minimum of 10,000 steps a day, every day! Join me in my challenge and you will see the benefits to your body both physically and mentally. Each day I will be posting an interesting and informative fact about how walking and general movement can benefit your health and longevity.

In addition, I am raising money for Mental Health UK, and would appreciate any small donation for such a great cause. As a result of the pandemic, people are experiencing severe challenges to their mental health and well-being. The impact of social isolation, health worries and uncertainty are taking their toll on everyone, and are having to cope with exacerbated feelings of anxiety, depression, isolation and helplessness.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
