Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.

At the start of lockdown I decided I needed a challenge to stay fit. The only option was to ‘lap the patio’. 100 laps a day for 100 days - 10,000 laps, 20,000 ‘stop and turn’, 40,000 corners - 300km - seemed like nice round numbers.

27 May was ‘day 50’- 5,800 laps and 174km completed.

I didn’t intend the challenge to be a ‘fundraiser’. However I have come to really appreciate that when life returns to something like normal, we all hope that those things we enjoyed doing and supporting will be still there for us. 

One of my passions is to watch historic aircraft flying and to remember all those who flew them, including my father.

I know that these are tough times for very many people and organisations. If you can donate to my fundraising I would be very grateful for any donation.
