The HR Graduates at Lloyds Banking Group have been challenged to raise £36,000 by the end of July 2012 for Save the Children's subsidiary programme 'Families and Schools Together (FAST)', which is designed to give the UK’s most disadvantaged children the best chance in school and a fair start in life by improving educational standards and supporting their families and communities.

In support of this fantastic cause, I have accepted the challenge to walk 100km from London to Brighton in 24 hours. This isn’t going to be easy (!!), so please dig deep and give anything you can to help me reach my target and make all the pain worth it!
