Thank you for coming to my page - my second page because Just giving decided to close my previous one!! 

The story continues...... I have 5 weeks to go until I walk 175 on the West Highland Way and Great Glen Way back to back in just 10 days!! Yes, there will be gruelling 20 + mile days back to back and I'm still not sure how I am going to do it!!! But I WILL!! (somehow!)

It's been a few years since I challenged myself and raised money and I have wanted to do these walks for some time, so thought why not do them together! The "for who" bit was simple! 

I had just joined the wonderful team at Befrienders Highland as a volunteer, the work they do as a small team is incredible and I want to raise awareness and funds for them to continue to provide the life line they do supporting people in isolation and loneliness suffering ill mental health, memory loss, dementia and also for carers. This is done through a friendship volunteer service.

£1500 will pay to support a volunteer for a year - on my previous page I had raised enough for one volunteer and now I'd like to raise enough for just one more if possible!

I was meant to be doing this walk in 2020 but corona then hit, so I am really excited that I am so close to starting! I had started back hill walking in 2019 and was feeling the benefit of nature and the outside to my mental health. I want this walk to not only raise awareness and vital funds for such a deserving small Highland charity but to also bring together like minded people, raise smiles and friendships along the way. 

If you would like to join me for a bit of my walk, follow my Insta page and I will be putting all the details there, also the info for my raffle that I have in place! You will find me at @nessielass

Thank you SO much for your support and kindness and taking the time to read my story!

All the love
