On June 14th, I’ll be walking 50 miles from Worthing to Eastbourne with my old friend Tim to raise funds for Esteem, a charity that’s very close to my heart.

At Esteem any young person can belong and make a positive difference, no matter what challenges they face. I’ve worked here for five years and seen firsthand the impact of our mentoring, wellbeing support and social activities.

The furthest Tim and I have ever walked in one day is 43 miles, but that was partly by accident, and by mile 38 we’d stopped speaking. So I can confirm that 50 miles is seriously far.

Please consider supporting us with a donation, a share or even a word of encouragement. Every pound brings us closer to our £500 goal and helps young people build brighter futures. Thank you!
