It's the time of year when I feel the urge to do something crazy in an attempt to give something back.

I am fundraising in aid of Farms for City Children who have paid for my place on the South West Coast 50 Ultra Challenge.

Together with my daughter Ellen we will both be walking the challenging 50 km route on Saturday August 2nd

Starting at Dunster Castle and taking in the first Minehead section of the famous 630 mile Coastal Path, , the 50 km loop then heads over Exmoor with ups & downs and some magnificent views with over 1600 metres of climb.

This year I have decided to support Computershare's new charity partner, Farms for City Children

It is a UK-based charity that does amazing work that genuinely changes people's lives, for the better, for ever.

Farms for City Children exists to remove the barriers that prevent children and young people having meaningful access to the natural world. By being a farmer for a week, children experience the physical and mental health benefits of being in the countryside and they grow in courage, compassion and curiosity. Your support can enable more 8–18 year olds from underserved areas of the UK to visit our three farms in Devon, Gloucester or Pembrokeshire, strengthening their connections to food, farming and nature.

Please help me in reaching my £1500 target.
