My target 120 mi

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

I'm supporting the DofE through this challenge because I am passionate about giving young people positive opportunities, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds who need our support and encouragement. Please consider supporting them through encouraging this old woman's efforts! Thank you x

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 to help more young people facing financial barriers. DofE provides access to an Awards programme which can enrich and transform young people's lives.  Please support me by sponsoring as much as you can.

My Updates

4th March, taking my head-cold for a walk!

Wednesday 4th Mar
Feeling rather yucky after a day wiped out yesterday due to a nasty head-cold that took hold a couple of days ago, but am pleased that I forced my legs and head out today, achieving 4.02 miles in just over an hour.  

A second walk on 2nd March - more relaxed than the first!

Monday 2nd Mar
Walk with hubbie after lunch and before school run ...1.53 miles in 34 minutes. Must admit to sore feet after this mornings fast walk!

2nd March, speedy and tough 5 mile hike

Monday 2nd Mar
Today I rushed over some rather rough terrain between Chatteris and Somersham, managing 5.02 miles in an hour and a half. 

Good workout pre birthday lunch with my husband!

The first ten miles

Sunday 1st Mar

Today my creativity took a friend and I on a ten mile walk as I begin this month's challenge of walking, running, or cycling 120 miles throughout March to raise funds which will enable disadvantaged young people to join the Duke of Edinburgh scheme (DofE). 

I hope that my efforts throughout March 2026 will help a teenager somewhere access this brilliant project, and in doing so build their skills and confidence.

The amount stated is £50 but I hope to raise far, far more than that to be honest.  Thanks to the wonderful generosity of some friends ahead of today I have actually already surpassed this amount. I really hope others will also support my efforts and importantly contribute towards disadvantaged young people accessing such important opportunities. With thanks and love to all those supporting x 

With much love
