Hi I'm Jo, 

Last year I walked 100km along the Thames Path and I know I said 'never again'!  However.......

On Saturday 27th May I will be walking 100km from London to Brighton to raise money and awareness for Scotty's Little Soldiers. 

It might be the same distance as last year's challenge but this one has a lot more hills.  It is definitely going to be my biggest challenge yet!

A huge part of my motivation for this is to raise money and awareness for the incredible charity Scotty's Little Soldiers. 

When I signed the Armed Forces Covenant for my business I made a commitment to raise money for a forces charity.  For me it was always going to be this one.  

I first heard about the charity on the news years ago and when I started listening to their podcast I was blown away by the work they do. The support they offer to their members at the most difficult of times is just incredible, and they operate with such openness and transparency.

Read on to find out more about the charity, and please do donate if you would like to support me and their members!
