September Challenge! Final Entry 🏁🍁

Thursday 1st Oct

And that’s September DONE. ❤️

At the beginning of the month, I set myself a challenge to walk 100 km in September. I wanted something that would push me to move more, alongside going to the gym, but still felt achievable and for a good cause. 

Well… I somehow ended up DOUBLING IT! 😅💪🏼

Final September totals:

• 🚶‍♀️ 264,905 steps
• 📍 200.82 km
• 🛣️ 125 miles 
• 🔥 200% of my original goal
• 📊 Average 8,830 steps a day
• 🏆 Final day: 15,624 steps / 11.78 km

I actually can’t believe I managed to hit 200 km. Going into the final day I needed just under 11 km, so once I realised it was within reach, there was absolutely no way I wasn’t doing it! Running around laser tag for an hour boosted those stats nicely! 😂

This month hasn’t been about being perfect. Some days I’ve done 14 to 15k steps, other days I’ve barely done 2 to 3k. I’ve had busy days, tired days and days where I really couldn’t be bothered. But I kept coming back to it.

And that’s probably what I’m most proud of.

My original goal was 100 km.

I finished on 200.82 km.

September challenge: COMPLETED. 💪🏽❤️

Fundraising target: 

SMASHED. ✅

Thank you so much to everyone who donated 🥰✨

Day 5!

Saturday 5th Sep It’s been 3 years to the day since we found out we had lost our baby Maple 🍁A traumatic and unexpected second trimester miscarriage. Being told our baby had no heart beat was devastating. If you could donate it would mean the world. So far I’ve completed 43.4km on day 5! At this rate I’m hoping to reach 200k and double our target by the end of the month. 💖💙 Share

100K for Maple 🍁

Tuesday 1st Sep

💙 100K in September for Sands 💙

This September, I’m taking on the challenge of walking 100K in 30 days to raise money for Sands, a charity that supports families affected by pregnancy and baby loss.

This is a cause that is incredibly personal to our family. We experienced a 2nd trimester loss at 20 weeks and it’s something that stays with you forever. I know just how important support, understanding and compassion can be for families going through such a heartbreaking experience.

Throughout September, I’ll be clocking up the kilometres in and outside the gym,  pushing myself to reach that 100K finish line or beyond! 

Every donation, no matter how small, will help Sands continue the amazing work they do supporting bereaved parents and families.

Thank you so much for supporting me. 💙

100K. 30 days. For every little life that was loved and never forgotten. 👣💙
