Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Will & I and not forgetting Millie, have chosen to raise money this year for Contact the Elderly (Thurrock branch) Loraine and team do a great job, so we thought we would help by raising some additional funds.

Supported by a network of volunteers, Contact the Elderly organises free monthly Sunday afternoon tea parties for small groups of older people aged 75 and over, who live alone and are suffering from isolation and loneliness, These regular tea party's offer a regular and vital friendship link every month..So, for older people to be taken out and become part of a group makes a huge impact on their happiness and wellbeing..

The Big One! 2018 our biggest challenge to date

We will be walking from Just outside Glasgow and hope to finish at Inverness, starting on the 5th June 2018. We have calculated approx. 190miles in total including walking to and from our accommodations that we have booked, mainly B&B's

There will be lots of laughs, and tears on this trip

We will be posting photos and stories each day on Facebook and Twitter, (if phone signal is possible)

Please help by supporting us, even if just £1.00 it all helps

Please share our page, from Facebook, every share increases the chance of a donation.


Big thanks from Gregg, Will & Millie,  🚶🏼🚶🏼🐒👍
