My target 1000 mi

I'm fundraising for the future of hospitality.

For my 25th birthday from the 25th of November I will be challenging myself to walk 40 miles a week for 25 weeks

My original challenge was 25 miles a week for 25 weeks but working in the hospitality industry this was a little too easy for me, and 40 miles a week for 25 weeks is 1, 000 miles 

I'm raising money for The Burnt Chef Project, an organisation set up to tackle mental health stigma in the hospitality industry. It's something very close to my heart and I would love your support!

Week 2

Monday 18th Sep
Despite not doing as many miles this week due to building some new chairs at work I managed to reach the 80 mile mark and achieved my 2 week goal. 

This week I realised its not just me achieving my goals.

As I visited my best friend Kieran's new house and had a walk down the coast of Morecombe its great to see that him and Jess are so happy where they are and achieving their goals ❤️ 

Thank you again to all who donated 🚶‍♂️

Week 1

Sunday 10th Sep
After completing the first week of my challenge in Keswick I realised that its not just me reaching milestones and making memories

As I went to Martin Mere on Monday and took a seat where we spread Grandma's ashes 2 young boys and their grandparents walked past, memories being made ❤️

And today in Keswick Penny had her first swim a milestone reached 🐶

Thank you to everyone who's donated and I hope the rest of my challenge brings many more memories.

As a Young lady with mental health problems being in and out of the system community and hospital. I feel strongly towards your cause and happy to contrabute towards your walking. In the work place everywhere and not just hospitality places doesn’t get recognised enough in these places for mental health problems And I really hope this helps towards making mental health more noticeable and that people understand that it’s ok to have mental health and hopefully for it not to just pushed like a lot of places.
