We've done it! 🎉

420 km walked. Our target was £420... together you've raised £1,232, and £1,441 with Gift Aid. That's nearly three times what we set out to do.

We're all genuinely amazed at everyone's generosity. To all 37 of you who donated, and everyone who reacted, commented and cheered us on, I can't thank you enough. Your support and motivation kept us going on the days our legs were telling us otherwise.

A special thank you to Jon, Vithu and Phil, who stepped in when we had a man down and helped carry the team over the line. That's what team looks like. And even Yellow was excited to walk the extra distance... no surprise there!!

Why it matters: this year One YMCA celebrates 140 years of supporting people across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, more than 150,000 people every year. £420 alone could help fund an overnight residential place for 10 young people, or a mobile phone and SIM for someone escaping domestic abuse. You've given nearly three times that.

It's something the whole team is proud of, supporting our communities. Personally, it's been a massive positive to reflect and give back, and the new connections and friendships that have come from this are ones I know will blossom.

We're not stopping here. The page is still open as One YMCA pushes towards its £14,000 milestone (link in the comments 👇).

Not sure I can say it enough, but a massive thank you from all of us at Team Hailo-Ops ❤️
