Some of you may know that I have Cerebral Palsy affecting both legs and took my first independent steps at 6 years old. I now move using crutches (and sometimes a wheelchair!) My health has been a challenge over the years and as a teenager I was told that it takes me around four times more energy to walk than the average person. However, I am very grateful for my mobility and am determined to increase my strength and fitness.
While contemplating my 40th birthday in September 2020, I have been inspired to help Gabe, a very special little boy, who also has C.P, to give him best chance of walking, too!
To raise some much needed funds for Gabe's ongoing and intensive physical and occupational therapy in the UK and the US, I am planning to walk 40 miles in 40 weeks (half a mile at a time) starting TOMORROW (December 28th!) and ending on my birthday.
This will be a HUGE effort for me (especially in the Winter!) and Gabe deserves ALL the help he can get, so please give whatever you can as it will make such a difference to his life.
I would LOVE to walk with as many of you as possible (if any airlines or travel companies want to sponsor a flight, maybe I can walk with my friends around the world, too?!) so do let me know if you want to be part of what promises to be an EPIC adventure!
Thank you so much and I look forward to sharing with you every step of the way!
Much love,
