'What's Next?' That was the question after my 84 at 84 charity challenge last summer (that's 84 miles aged 84, completed in 5½ days for Dementia UK). Now 85, I aim to walk or jog a total distance to equal the 143 mile length of the River Great Ouse by 31st October, 2024 - and that's just what I did!

My church, St Mary's Buckden, nominated both Waterways Chaplaincy and Church Army for support during September and October. Half the funds raised through this page in 2024 (£570) are to be retained by Church Army to support their work with young people in Ipswich and the rest will now go to Waterways Chaplaincy.

Please add a little to the funds already donated so generously. Your support will enable help where it is most needed. Thank you all, especially for taking the total well beyond the increased, £1000 target.
