My target 120 mi

I’m fundraising for The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award

I'm taking part in the DofE Do it 4 Youth Step Challenge walking, running or wheeling 120 miles throughout March, raising vital funds for the DofE charity more young people facing financial barriers can access the life-chanding Awards programme and transform their lives.  Please support me by sponsoring as much as you can.

My Updates

Nearly there

Monday 30th Mar
One day to go and three miles, which I will enjoy doing tomorrow. Hope this blog seems authentic - the down to the wire finish will ring a bell with anyone who knows me well! 
Joking aside, I am delighted to have taken part in this. Even though there were hardly any opportunities for substantial runs, walks or cycles it’s been great to incorporate more exercise into each day and fun to compare notes with colleagues I wouldn’t often see. And most importantly, we’ve managed to raise some funds for DofE and hopefully increase awareness of the scheme. 

One week to go

Monday 23rd Mar
One week to go until the end of the month and it looks like I'm on track to logging 120 miles walked, jogged or cycled to raise funds and awareness for DofE. Considering I only got hold of a Fitbit a week in and wasn't in great shape at the beginning of this busy month it's a relief. And fitting in a few miles cycle after work feels great - no surprise there!
