Story

Hi there, welcome to my fundraising page… make yourself at home!

Have a look below; you can see updates about my challenge, how it’s all going and hopefully some messages from other sponsors too.

I’m taking part in Fit in Four Weeks to support Cash for Kids, and will be doing at least 30 minutes of exercise every day for 28 days!

Cash for Kids will use the funds I raise to make a real difference to the lives of children and young people who are struggling because of the cost-of-living crisis.

Any amount you can to give is very much appreciated. After you sponsor me, it would be great if you could leave a photo or video message too!

So that's it, all done - February is over & I finished the month with another yoga session yesterday evening.

THANK YOU to everyone who has donated - it feels like we've done a good thing here.

Signing off for the last time :-) xx

Another walk today rather than yoga - out for two hours! Fantastic! :-)

A walk every day during half-term break in some wonderful sunshine - feels like spring is on its way :-)

Huge thanks to my fab son Charlie for walking with me & for making a donation too.

Probably back to a mix of walking & yoga this week.

Need to push a bit for more donations too! Only a week & a half left now...

Five walk days in a row (Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun & today) & I'll probably keep this going over half-term break instead of doing yoga.

In some ways it's getting harder - not the exercise itself (I think that's getting a bit easier) but trying to fit it in when there's so much else to do.

BUT I've had another donation - thank you, I know who you are :-) - which makes it all worthwhile.

So I'll keep going - nearly at the half-way mark now!

I was wrong about the weather yesterday - it turned out to be a beautiful afternoon - I really enjoyed my walk :-)

No chance to get out today so a late yoga session instead - I'm working hard on my shoulder stand!

Some plans to cultivate more donations tomorrow...

Fantastic - some donations! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

More yoga yesterday - back to the original routine, which I think I prefer.

And a walk planned for today - on what seems to be the coldest day of February so far. Ah well... :-)

A change of plan on Thursday - yoga instead of a walk - but a walk yesterday & more, different yoga today. So I'm still going! And my first donation, hurrah! THANK YOU :-)

So here we are - 1st Feb! I have a little confession to make... I started my exercise routine about a week ago - I thought I'd better start early, to give myself the best chance of making it through to the end :-) Just completed an hour of yoga - my first 'official' session. It will be yoga again tomorrow, then a couple of walk days, followed by an extended, harder yoga session on Sunday. Phew! I'll keep you posted...

So folks, I'm doing it again.... Another Cash for Kids challenge! But how could I NOT do it? Life is tough for everyone just now, but it's tougher for some than for others. So I will be trying my best to do something about that. I'll be doing an hour of yoga or walking EVERY DAY in February to raise money for Cash for Kids. I've kicked off my fundraising with a donation myself. Here's hoping it's the first of many! WISH ME LUCK! :-)
