Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

With my team, The VERY Long Walk Team, I will be undertaking a, umm..., very long walk this summer: 100km around the Cotswolds.  

We are raising money for two charities that are extremely important to us.  By donating on this page, you will be supporting Shooting Star Children’s Hospice - a charity that has over 13 years (and counting!) helped our great friends Britt and Adrian, and their amazing daughter Zoe, live lives that would otherwise not have been possible.  

We are also raising money for JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation],  who are pioneering research into the disease, and supporting the people who live with it - not least Jenny’s nephew, who inspires me by having himself recently part of a team that raised money by (virtual!) cycling from John O’Groats to Lands End... and back. You can donate to JDRF via Jenny’s JustGiving page (accessed through our team page).

We are hoping people can split their donations between these two great charities. But you can also just donate to one. We are extremely grateful for any contribution!

You can find out more about these charities, why we chose them, and how we’re readying ourselves for what-seemed-like-a-good-idea-when-we-first-signed-up, by ‘following’ our team Facebook page:
