Having a chronic illness or disability is very hard. The isolation and loneliness that comes with it makes it even harder. Missing school, unable to make friends, having no one to talk to. A world With Friends mission is to make sure no young person fighting an illness or disability feels alone. Having someone to talk to, laugh with, cry with is good for your mental health. 

A world with friends holds physical and virtual events to connect young people together to make friends. Everyone needs a friend.

They hold yearly Proms where hundreds of young people living with a chronic illness or disability, many of whom have been excluded from their own school Prom get to come together for a night they have dreamed of and experience the magic of prom night. 

So I decided for Captain Toms 100 Challenge this year I will walk around local corn field 100 times starting on April 30th each lap is 2700 steps so lots of walking all in aid of A World With Friends so that they can carry on helping and supporting any young person that needs to feel included and make good friends. Once my fundraising has reached £200, I shall be walking a extra lap for every £1 more raised.  

The support I have received has been incredible, thank you.  I'm currently on lap 389 and walking rain or shine.

Thank you

Ben
