Deciding on where to go for my walk today led me to decide that actually, I’d better do another prom walk if I want a chance of finishing in twenty weeks. So I did. It was around 4 pm when Darren dropped me at the Heysham end of the prom, and despite being after school…
In my last walk post, I was talking about mental health, one of the big reasons I walk every day, so I thought it would be good to follow up with a post about the work West End Impact do to help with mental health. In many ways, everything they do could be seen as…
Well, I should have known really – as soon as I say that I will do these walks in 20 weeks instead of the rest of the year, I end up unable to do one for several weeks. My last walk was 11th of April, and today is the 8th of May, almost a month!…
Aiming to complete the 20 walks in 20 weeks means I need to keep some momentum going, so given it was dry this morning and over a week since my last walk (due to a short break, weather, and life), I thought I should make the most of the opportunity and get on with the…
My second walk this afternoon ran the opposite way to the first one. There was a reason, I had an appointment at the far end, so the family came with me and then dropped me off at the Hest Bank end on their way home. I’d checked the weather forecast and wanted to walk today,…
Today was the day. I started the Prom, Prom, Prom walks and did my first end-to-end walk of Morecambe prom. I’ve been itching to for a while, but I wanted to finish my first year of walking every day before I did and then Darren (my husband) was away over the weekend but today it…
I thought it would be good to include at the beginning a post about how Impact are hoping to spend the funds they raise during their 20th year. Obviously, there are the ongoing costs of the paid staff, including the recent hire of a Parish nurse and a part-time administrator, work on the building, money…
I wanted a post at the beginning of this adventure to explain why I support West End Impact, and why I am willing to push myself to do this to try and fundraise for them. At the top of the page, along with the home button, the how-to donate button, and a page about me,…
Sometimes I have a slight problem with quantity. I think of eating a biscuit and end up eating a whole packet. I think I might do one long charity walk, and end up volunteering to do twenty. Okay, they aren’t quite as long but even so, TWENTY! That is a lot further, and a lot…
