Sasha's Bogle 2017 page
Sasha Olenkova is raising money for Diabetes UK
Story
The Bogle Stroll started in 1961 when a group of UMIST lecturers missed the last bus home in Lancaster and decided to walk the 55 miles back to Manchester. Along the way some of the group started to hallucinate and saw the Bogle (a Lancashire imp of folklore) , in their imagination the Bogle was taunting the walkers, willing them to give up. It is in defeating the Bogle that the event gets its name.
This year I am attempting to walk 55 miles to raise money for Diabetes UK as diabetes is something that I am afraid of, something that can make one's life unbearable, something that can make life not affordable for low-income families, something that made my grandmothers' last years even more difficult that they could have been.
