Please support me!

I’m taking on the Mega Miles Challenge in support of the Charity for Civil Servants. Make a donation to my page and let’s go one step closer to making sure no civil servant faces life’s challenges alone

Every penny we raise helps to ensure our free, confidential support is there for colleagues when life gets tricky, from money worries and financial help to wellbeing and mental health support. 

For colleagues like Hannah, that support can be life-changing: “I couldn’t even put into words how terrible it was. I was really unwell by this point and stress just took me out. I ended up taking time off work from anxiety. It’s about having someone to listen to you and tell you you’re going to be alright”.

My Updates

I trained for a 10k walk. My kids made it a half marathon.

The plan was simple. A few training walks around Greenwich Park before our big CSR day. 5k, maybe 6. Easy.

What I hadn't accounted for was that I would be doing them with two boys whose relationship with the concept of a route is, at best, theoretical.

Walk one: we stopped to examine a stick for eleven minutes. Not a special stick. Just a stick. We then had to go back for it when we were 200 metres away because, and I quote, "it might be lonely."

Walk two: we found the deer enclosure. Forty-five minutes later we were still at the deer enclosure. The deer had stopped being interested. My legs had gone cold. We had named four of them.

Walk three: the younger one decided that downhill means sprint, and uphill means dad carries me. This is not how hills work. This is, however, how we added an extra kilometre going back for the water bottle he launched into a bush.

My fitness tracker says I'm ready. My knees say something different. My boys think we should do it again on Saturday "but longer this time."

Friday's walk is going to be fine. Probably.
