Story

I’m taking on the BIG25 Challenge!

On Sunday 4th October, Winston and Wilma, Mum (Janet) I will be walking 25,000 steps along the seafront from Cafe Riva in Southbourne to Cafe Shore in Sandbanks, and back, to raise funds for the Plants and Minds BIG25 Challenge.

It’s going to be a fair few miles, but it’s all for a fantastic cause and I’m really looking forward to the challenge.

If anybody would like to join me for some (or all!) of the walk, that would be ACE! 🙌 The more the merrier!

And if you can’t join me, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could sponsor me instead. Every donation, big or small, will make a difference. 💚

Thank you so much for your support — now I just need to get those steps in! 😅
