I’m fundraising for The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
For more than six decades, the DofE has empowered young people to develop skills for work and life, to become more confident and resilient, to make new friends and give back to others. The DofE was set up to support young people as nations rebuilt and reinvented themselves in the decade after the second world war. Now, the world is about to do the same again following the coronavirus pandemic. The charity has predicted a £5 million deficit this year as a result of Covid-19 so I’m taking on the virtual DofE Adventure to transform the prospects of the COVID generation and support the DofE at a crucial time. With hundreds of thousands of young people doing their DofE across the UK, the charity has a critical role to play in this crisis and beyond; to be there for young people who need it most when they need us most. There has never been a more important time to support young people in the UK.

Why does it always rain on me?
Tuesday 1st Sep Day 1... I’m not going lie...the weather wasn’t looking too great, but I put my trainers on and donned my Amey fleece and out I went. Anyone who knows North Yorkshire will appreciate we have our own weather system! I’d got to the point of no return and the heavens opened! BTW Amey fleeces are NOT waterproof!! I was actually stopped by a man who asked me why was I out walking in the rain without a dog! I explained it was for DofE charity and I wasn’t the crazy village lady who walks in the rain, no waterproof and no dog! He gave me a big smile and a nod of approval. I was confident he would never recognise me again because when I got home, I resembled Worzel Gummidge on a bad day!! 😂 ShareThank you to my Sponsors
