I'm taking on 31 Miles this August for Mental Health UK 🐠

This August, I'm taking on 31 Miles in August to raise money for Mental Health UK. 
After losing my dad to suicide in 2021 mine and my families lives were turned upside down and will never be the same again. The loss of my dad has had such a significant impact on every part of my life especially my mental health which is why this cause is so close to my heart. It’s not just providing support for the people in need, it makes sure friends and family don’t have to suffer the tragic loss of someone they love to suicide.

I'm walking 31 miles as the physio instructed that I don’t jog yet because of my ruptured Achilles which like me is still not strong enough 💪🙈, throughout the month to help ensure more people can access the mental health support they need, when they need it most.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help Mental Health UK continue providing vital services, information and support to people across the UK.

If you're able to sponsor me I would be truly grateful and thank you isn’t enough to show how much I appreciate your kind gesture! If you’re unable to sponsor me and have read this then all I ask is please check in on your friends & family from time to time. Send someone a text, hug someone or tell someone how much they mean to you because you don’t know if it’s the last time you’ll speak to that person. That small kind gesture could have such a positive impact on someone’s day that it really could change their life especially if they are struggling with their mental health!
Your support will help keep me motivated throughout the challenge and make a real difference to people's lives.

Thank you so much for your support! 🐠

Walked from just passed Beales to just passed the Atlantic hotel twice & forgot to press stop once I got in the car as I was pushing y grab in the wheelchair. I walked on my own for the first trip but pushed her for the second. Was on 3.5 miles when turning back so had just over a mile left so we’ll just call it 4 for today. Total so far is 28 miles

Another 7 done. Total so far is 24 miles.
Tourette’s were on fire today, touching every lamppost, car, railing, brick etc when walking passed them was frustrating along side toe tapping the floor made this walk take a little longer. 
Once again thank you all for your support 🐠

And we’re off 7.5 miles

Monday 10th Aug
Sorry for the delay but I’ve finally started. It’s going to be walking as the physio recommended I don’t jog. 
7.5 miles done today. I’ve uploaded a picture to prove I’m not lying. Did t change my Strava app so it says I cycled that but if I do t think it’s possible to cycle that slow so just to confirm I did walk. Once again thank you Al for sponsoring & I’ll keep you updated 🐠 💪
