I walked the marathon last year with my Grandad and it was hard but I enjoyed it and felt proud to raise a lot of money. Since then I broke my shin bone and couldn’t do any sport or exercise for 6 months. I am better now and looking forward to walking again to raise money for a good local cause, helping children and families in need. Please support me and my Grandad who is doing this very long walk for the third time and he will be 80 at his next birthday!

Grandad and I have decided to divide any money that we raise between our two chosen charities – Home-Start, a local charity that supports disadvantaged children, and Sustain Food Bank.

Walking 26.2 miles will be tough, but it pales in comparison to the daily struggles faced by children experiencing tragedy, hardship and neglect or families without enough money to put food on the table. Any donation, big or small, will make a real difference in supporting the incredible work of these two charities.

Thanks in advance for your support.
