I did it!!! Yesterday I walked 54KM - 34 miles.The final quarter was brutal - up the Infamous Box Hill steps. We managed to get to the end before the rain came thankfully, We ran the last few km to get in before dark and the rain. Although I have reached my fundraising target (thank you, thank you, thank you). I'd love it if you can help us with a little more when we go over in a few weeks. We will be doing a shopping trip in Calais, to buy food with any extra money we raise.

Just one week to go! I'm so excited that I'll be doing this walk to raise money for refugees. They evicted the refugees from Dunkirk this week. So many people, now once again losing the tiny little roots they had put down.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far!!! We are nearly there with our target. Training is going pretty well - I've been walking every weekend. On Friday I did a flat 25 mile walk - a few grumpy joints! I'll be tapering it back now so I'm ready for the full challenge. Calais authorities are making some huge evictions at the moment and so an urgent appeal has gone out for sleeping bags and tents - especially for the families who are being ousted from the gym in Dunkirk.
