This year I’m celebrating my 40th birthday and to mitigate the wobbles I’m challenging myself to walk 100km along the Thames Path in support of the fantastic Family Holiday Charity. 

Family Holiday Charity helps families get time away together, often for the first time ever. We're here for children who've never seen the sea. For teenagers who can't remember when they last saw mum smile. For parents having to choose between a day out and a pair of school shoes. For young carers, and families facing illness, isolation, or bereavement. Holidays open up new possibilities. Time spent together helps build relationships, confidence and hope for the future.

So if you can spare anything I’ll do my very best to walk a very long way on my rapidly ageing legs so that families facing tough times can go on holiday and make happy memories.
