Alison's fundraiser for Green Light Trust - I'm walking 195 miles in February!
Alison Jagger is raising money for Green Light Trust
Story
As many of you know for the past three years I've been working for the Green Light Trust. I've seen first hand the transformation of the lives of adults, children and young people through well-being and education programmes rooted in nature.
Now I've returned to the Wirral to live it was agreed that I could work remotely helping promote our courses for young people. This contract is now sadly coming to an end, and I really felt I wanted to do something to support this wonderful charity and the inspiring participants I've met along the way.
I want to continue to support the work that the Green Light Trust do and noticed that a lot of charities are promoting a "Walk 100 miles in February" challenge.
So, I thought it would be fun to calculate the distance from my home to Green Light Trust's Head Office just outside Bury St Edmunds - and walk that distance instead. I didn't realise at the time that it's nearly twice the regular February charity challenge - coming in at a wopping 195 miles in total!
Of course I'll be doing this closer to home by walking my dogs locally and racking up the mileage on a treadmill.
I'll have 28 days to walk 195 miles and will log all the mileage on the usual socials on Insta, Facebook and LinkedIn as I go along.
Plus, I've a WEDDING DRESS to get into in July too so it will hopefully burn some calories and get me fitter too!!
Please do take a look at these inspiring videos to see the life-changing work the Green Light Trust do and you'll understand why I feel so passionately about doing this.
The Green Light Trust support people who have a range of barriers to their well-being, and who often have the least access to nature. By allowing space and time, Green Light Trust helps people to reconnect with themselves, with others and with the natural world.
Thank you so much for your support!
