Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Over the last couple of years my mental health has taken an absolute  battering which in turn has meant all aspects of my life has been turned upside down and inside out.  In September 2020, I started  'Just Having A Wander', where I would go and visit the beautiful countryside and the industrial heritage of Wrexham.   From being somebody who would make a sloth look energetic, I am now regularly walking 30-50 miles a week.   - Walking has quite simply saved my life.  

I am now aiming to walk 100 miles in 5 days between the 10-14th May 2021 using footpaths and bridleways whenever possible and I am raising money for Dynamic as through their work, they support the mental health of children, young people and their families. 

I hope you are able to support me in raising awareness of #mentalhealthwalking and please donate if you can. 

Diolch yn fawr.
