I'm fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness!

During October I am participating in the Rethink Relay!

I'm planning on walking to and from work which is approximately 300 miles over the month of October. 


In memory of Michael Shellis, Robert Jones, Jeff Dylan, Sovereign Jones, Esme Hammer and many others who have sadly taken their own lives. 

Chronic underfunding of the mental health sector and the impact in has on young lives and families must be acknowledged.

305 Miles!

Friday 1st Nov
Walking 305 miles in October! £400+ raised 🥳

I can't thank everyone enough for your support and donations, the last week has been the toughest by far!

I thought I'd take the time to share the things I learned along the way...

The phrase "measure twice, cut once" was particularly important in this journey...

Note to self: When signing up for a challenge, make sure you do the maths right before making the page live 😂 I accidentally calculated 300 miles. When I realised my mistake and went to change it before anyone saw... 2 people had already donated! So instead of the 160 miles, which was realistically what I was capable of in the time I had, I had to dig much deeper and find time for another 140 miles... 

I learned the importance of following training programmes and not listening to my mind when I was feeling positive or negative. Negative thoughts usually disappeared once I started walking. Positive thoughts meant overdoing it and injuring myself in week 4.

Ironically, I wasn't very kind to myself about having to adapt my strategy to complete the challenge. I did feel quite deflated but after talking to a few people, I realised that nobody else was holding me to such high standards! Goes to show how important it is to talk things through with other people. 

My fitness has improved massively, as has my posture. Fast walking is great for zone 2 training. My vo2 max is excellent, according to garmin. Running is massively overrated. I love walking so much, I signed up for a 50k ultra marathon in March next year! 

Thanks again everyone, can't wait to get back on 2 wheels and have some spare time ❤️❤️❤️

No idea how many miles left to go 😂

Monday 28th Oct
Can't seem to keep track of miles! Rethink has been counting my cycling miles...

Basically this week, because I'm injured, I will be walking approximately 30 miles. Although that may take me over 300 for total miles walked.

Thanks for your support xx

28 miles to go...

Thursday 24th Oct
I have a bit of pain in my heel this week, went a bit silly on Tuesday and did a fast 6 miler! Regret it...

Only 28 miles left, hopefully a bit of rest over the next 4days will sort out my irritated tendon 🤞

Nearly 2/3 of the way!

Saturday 19th Oct
First 2 weeks were tough, recovering from flu, getting used to new shoes, being on my feet so much... feeling fit now!

Thank you to my Sponsors
