I’m taking on the challenge of hiking the Pennine Way in July to raise funds for the Gardiner Hill Foundation, Navigo's chosen charity.

This iconic 268‑mile route stretches the length of England and will test me both physically and mentally. I’ll be completely self‑reliant along the way, navigating each day, carrying what I need, and pushing through whatever the trail throws at me.

That sense of independence is what makes this challenge especially meaningful. One of the key aims of the Gardiner Hill Foundation is to help its grant recipients build confidence, independence, and opportunity in their own lives. By taking on a hike that demands resilience and self‑sufficiency, I hope to reflect and honour that same spirit.

The Gardiner Hill Foundation does incredible work, and I’m proud to be putting one foot in front of the other to help raise awareness and vital funds for their cause. Every donation, big or small, will make a real difference and will help keep me going every step of the way.

Thank you so much for your support.
