***WE DID IT!!***
Just wanted to let you know that we absolutely smashed it on Friday and managed to complete the challenge in under 12 hours!!
The guides who took us for the day initially set the expectation that we were unlikely to achieve our goal of completing in 12 hours and should expect to be back in around 15 hours, especially because I was foolish enough to attempt the challenge with a fridge! However, we slowly won them over, and soon they were hurrying us at the end to finish in time—which we managed with plenty of time to spare!
A huge thank you to everyone who donated and sent us messages of goodwill and good luck on and around the day itself—these really pushed us all on for a strong finish!
If you would still like to donate to our fundraiser for Turning Tides, we are only £150 away from hitting our target of £5,500! 🌊
All money raised will be used to help people facing homelessness today who have nowhere else to turn. It means they can access housing, mental health support, recovery services, counselling, advice, empathy, and practical essentials like food and showers, among so much more. Turning Tides' services don’t just save lives—they change them, providing opportunities that many might never have dreamed possible.
Thanks again everyone! 😊
