Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am going to walk 600,000 steps in the month of November to raise funds to help those who need it most in our community, at a time of year when things are especially tough for some people. With the cost of living crisis, fuel prices etc all spiralling out of control, and the era of rampant austerity in which we are currently living, I feel compelled to do something to try and help others.

I have completed this challenge on Sunday 27th November with 3 days to spare, after 3 solid weeks of absolutely pounding the streets of West Dumbartonshire in all manner of Scottish wintry conditions - the less said about the two occasions I got caught in torrential rain while wearing shorts the better! It was exhausting at times and there were many days when I felt like ditching a walk to stay in my house out of the rain, but thinking about trying to provide relief for vulnerable people in our society has well and truly kept me

Awaiting an update from my employer as to when they will donate an additional £500 towards this cause, this should be available to them within the next week.

Any donation via this page will be greatly appreciated, and I would like to thank everyone who continually supports any charitable endeavour I take part in, your help is invaluable and I cannot thank you enough.

Big love x
