It’s the beginning of Advent and I’ve got 100 miles of the #walk1000miles challenge to go. When I started this back in January, I had no expectation of sticking to it and completing it. After all, every time I’ve started a gym membership, within a couple of months my direct debit has gone to the gym more often than me!
So I’m hoping, that as you’re preparing for feasting and festivities over the coming weeks, you will sponsor the remainder of my 1000 miles and make a donation to The Whitechapel Centre as they prepare to look after Liverpool’s homeless and rough sleepers during what is forecast to be a very harsh winter.
It’s shocking that an estimated 1 in 200 people in the UK are currently homeless (Shelter), some of whom are living and dying on the streets of our city. We often don’t know the best way to help as we pass them by when doing our shopping or on our Christmas nights out, but The Whitechapel do!
I know that a £1000 target for my 1000 miles is ridiculously ambitious, but if everyone I know could spare a tenner (but any amount however large or small would be most welcome), between us we might just do it! And don’t forget to Gift Aid if you pay tax - it increases the value of your donation by a whopping 25%.
If all goes to plan, my aim is to complete the 1000 miles on top of Moel Famau on Christmas Eve, so watch this space ... ... ...
Thank you in anticipation of your ongoing support and enjoy the festive season. xxx
