Please support me!

I’m taking on the Mega Miles Challenge in support of the Charity for Civil Servants. Walking 10,000 steps a day for a month may not seem like a monumental challenge but will still require discipline and commitment for a month, to fit it in with work and a hectic family life. Even small efforts can make a difference - thank you for your contribution, however big or small. And don't hesitate to join me for a walk in May!

The Charity for Civil Servants supports current, former and retired civil servants when they face tough times.  From mental health struggles and financial assistance to relationship issues, getting through grief, and coping with disability, they’re here to help people stay strong, whatever life brings. They have been there for civil servants for over 137 years, providing an umbrella of support when it’s needed most and so I'm fundraising to make sure they can be there for future generations too.

Cover platform costs

I’d like to add a little extra to help cover the fees of maintaining the technology that keeps this platform available for donations. Why?

Gift Aid Yes, I want the Charity for Civil Servants to claim back the tax on all donations I make in the future or have made in the past 4 years. Please treat all donations as Gift Aid donations. Gift Aid is a scheme enabling registered charities to reclaim tax on a donation made by a UK taxpayer, effectively increasing the amount of the donation. I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference. Please notify the charity if you: want to cancel this declaration/change your name or home address/no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains.

Thank you

Friday 31st May

I would like to say a big thank you to all those who supported me during my 10,000 steps a day challenge in May. I walked a total of 203 miles (326 km).

The biggest challenge with walking is to stay consistent and make it a priority everyday....once it became a habit in May, I really got hooked.

Thanks to your generosity, we raised £303 plus £41.62 in Gift Aid. I am really grateful, especially since my goal was a modest £200 and I kept the fundraising pretty low-key.

The money we raised will help people dealing with sudden life challenges like bereavement, separation, mental or physical health issues - these are things that can affect anyone at any time.

Thank you again for your support. It means a lot to me and together, we have made a real difference.

Friday 3rd May

Felt a bit too exhausted to go for a walk at the end of the day and before a late-night work session....but it turned out incredibly rewarding....the beautiful light and fresh air were revitalising, prompting me to ponder why many of us spend so much time indoors in front of TVs and other screens :-)....I was reminded that life is definitely out there!

Second day....14,212 steps

Thursday 2nd May

A bit more challenging to fit in the steps today, but nice to think creatively and take the boys for a walk after school , leaving the mess to sort out at home behind.....
