Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For Christmas, my grandma gave me a Fitbit so I could track my steps and ensure I got enough exercise everyday throughout lockdown. My mum and I decided to to do long walks with our dogs after home school each day to see how many steps I could do. I soon realised that getting out and about in the fresh air made me feel happy, even when it was cold and raining a lot. I chat to my mum about lots of things on these walks - which sometimes take over 2 hours. And at the end, there is always a hot chocolate reward!

We then thought about making it a real challenge and raise money for children who need support with their emotional and mental health. Lockdown has not been a very good time for many children and charities like Young Minds are there to support children who need help and someone to talk to. 

February is a perfect 4 weeks so we thought I could aim for 100km of walking over the month. 1st - 7th February is also Children's Mental Health Week so this is another great reason to do the challenge now. 

We will be using fitbit and strava to track our progress and we will update this page on how we are doing. I wont be doing it alone - as my dogs Banger and Jemima always join me on my walks.
