Story

Hi all. As part of my lose weight / gain fitness journey over Covid times I’ve signed up to walk the 100km (~62 miles) Thames Path Challenge along the Thames from Putney to Henley in under 24 hours on September 11/12.

I’m on track to have lost over 10 stone (I’m already down over 60kg/135lb/9 1/2 35% of my pre-covid weight) since lockdown by walk date, & am hopeful I’ve got 24 hours of walking in me.

Note I’ve paid my own entry fee for the event (as extra training motivation 😂), so all donations go to MDS, a great small charity who’ve really helped my friend Emma, and I’m planning on using the list of donors as motivation whenever the walking gets really hard.

Please only donate if you’re able to, but I’d love the support.
