It's sadism time!

We've been here before, walking too many steps in not enough time, and every time I do it, I swear never again. But I'm back.

I know it's meant to be 1 million, and that's the stretch goal, but I have fatigue and a weird shift pattern, so I'm not aiming to destroy myself.

I will be walking somewhere between 750k to 1 million steps between 1st July and 30th September in order to raise money for Nacoa. I think most people know it's a charity very close to my heart, and shockingly, with the world in the state it's in, alcoholism and other addictions remain a massive problem, often with the children taking up a lot of the strain while parents struggle with their addictions.

Nacoa (The National Association for Children of Alcoholics) is a Bristol based charity founded in 1990 to provide help and support for everyone affected by a parent’s drinking.

We believe that every child has the right to a happy childhood and to live a creative and meaningful life but when drink is the family secret they are more likely to experience family violence, neglect and other problems in their own homes.
