🥾 50km Peak District Challenge for Tourette’s Action 💚

In September, I’m taking on a 50km(!) Peak District hill challenge with some of my amazing friends (Claire, Cat, Karen, Liz and our super map reader Spencer 😄) to raise money for Tourette’s Action - a charity very close to my heart.

Living with Tourette’s is not what most people think - it’s often embarrassment, pain, tic attacks, co-occurring conditions, suppressing, anxiety, recovery after bad days and the effort it takes to get through everyday life.

I’ve always been passionate about making life better and easier for those with TS - especially young people. Tourette’s Action does vital work in research, advocacy and supporting people and families who often struggle quietly, while challenging stigma through education and understanding. It shows young people they can have a future and a bright one too where they belong in society.

If you can afford to donate we would be so grateful - even a small amount helps make a big difference 💚.

We’ve chosen a challenge that will be a tough one for us all - we may be gym goers but we are not hill walkers and probably most of us never really do much more than 10km - while usually avoiding the hills too 🤣 so it will be a tough summer of training for this steep self navigated challenge - it be a hard one to get done in 12 hours! I’m sure we will be exhausted and likely get lost but will get each other through it 💪.

Thank you for supporting this challenge and a cause that means so much to me.
