Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. As you may know, the London Marathon was cancelled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year it helped raise £66.4m for charities - vital funds to enable them to help and support the less fortunate and most vulnerable people in our world.
The 2.6 Challenge is a national initiative to try to encourage people to substitute the London Marathon fundraising efforts with a multitude of individual fundraising activities with the numbers 2.6 or 26 in someway evident. With all the restrictions of social distancing etc. in mind I came up with this:
Starting on Sunday 26th April I have walked more than 15,000 steps each day, from our home for 26 continuous days. A total of more than 400,000 steps.
I'm raising money for Rethink Mental Illness. The "Lockdown" poses many problems for all of us, but if you were already suffering with a mental illness the stresses, anxieties and problems escalate enormously. They need our help more than ever!
Thank you so much for your generosity!
