Story

Our poor planet is in dire need of attention, love and care before the damage we’ve done is at a level beyond repair. I’ve always had a keen interest in animals and their welfare, a level of compassion that has helped me become vegan and more eco-friendly and a longing to help, do good and be better for the planet and everything that lives on it.

I’m also an avid walker. It’s something that’s helped me through the strange year we’ve had and it really picked me up out of a low when nothing else seemed possible. I started with an hour walk here and there and have increased to doing 12k at least 5 times a week. I’ve found my true love in nature and I not only want, but need, to give something back.

I’ve set myself the challenge of walking 400km (249miles) throughout February (locally, of course). This equates to 14.3km every day. It’s a lot of walking but I recently spent a fair amount on some vegan, cruelty free, carbon neutral walking boots so it’s about time I got my money’s worth and gave them a proper test 🥾😉

Please help and join in working together by donating a small amount to sponsor my mammoth walking challenge! I’ve set my target as £200, 50p per km but any donation is amazing and so so welcome! I can’t wait to get started and I’m excited to see how we all pull together to do some good 💘🌍🌿

I will also be giving away one Limited Edition ODDPOT with a “planet earth” theme so if you’d like to send me screenshots of your donations, I will enter you into the draw to win this one of a kind, hand made, eco friendly, cute and weird pot!! 🪴🐋🐢🐼🦁🐘🌿🌊

Here is why we should help friends of the earth: “Friends of the Earth have spent over 40 years protecting the planet. They need our help as they rely on public support to continue their work. They have won new laws to protect our water, wildlife, landscapes, climate and health. But to face the challenges ahead, there needs to be a more positive relationship between people and the environment.Together, with Friends of the Earth, our voice is louder, our actions more significant, our impact greater. Together, we are determined to change the world for good, for everyone”
