I Did It – Thank You! 🎉

Challenge complete!

I’m delighted (and a little tired!) to say that I successfully completed the 13 Bridges Challenge – walking 10 miles across London while crossing 13 of the city's iconic bridges in support of SSAFA - The Armed Forces Charity.

I want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, shared words of encouragement, bought something from my bake sales, or cheered me on along the way. Your generosity and support kept me motivated every step of the journey.

It was a fantastic day filled with great scenery, a real sense of community, and the satisfaction of knowing we were raising money for a cause that makes such a meaningful difference. SSAFA provides lifelong support to serving Armed Forces personnel, veterans, and their families, ensuring that the people behind the uniforms never have to face life's challenges alone.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps provide practical, emotional, and financial support to those who have served our country and their loved ones. Together, we've contributed to that important work.

If you haven't had the opportunity to donate yet, there's still time, and every contribution is greatly appreciated.

Thank you once again for helping me turn 10 miles and 13 bridges into something that will have a lasting impact. I couldn't have done it without you.

With sincere thanks x 

Every Step Is Sponsored by Someone Who Believes in This Mission!

To everyone who has already sponsored me — thank you.

Your support genuinely means more than a donation amount on a page. It’s encouragement, accountability, belief, and momentum every time I lace up my trainers, show up tired, or keep going when life gets busy.

And yes… this post is also proof that I’m doing the work too 😂

Training is happening.
Nutrition is happening
The sore legs are definitely happening.

But more importantly, this journey has become bigger than the event itself.

What started as “Can I do this?” has become:

• showing up consistently,
• pushing beyond comfort zones,
• building resilience,
• and raising support for something that truly matters.

There’s something powerful about people coming together — each person contributing what they can — and collectively creating impact that none of us could create alone.

What Your Sponsorship Really Does

Every sponsorship:

• helps keep motivation high on the difficult days,
• supports an important cause,
• and reminds me that this challenge is connected to a bigger purpose.

Whether you sponsor £5, £50, or simply share the page with others, it all matters.

Sometimes people think small donations don’t make a difference.

They do.

Because fundraising is rarely about one giant gesture — it’s about many people deciding to care.

A Little Training Update 👟

Progress report:

• Training sessions are increasing
• Endurance is improving
• Recovery days are becoming essential 😅
• Determination remains fully intact

I’m learning that discipline isn’t about perfection. It’s about continuing even when motivation fluctuates.

And honestly, knowing people are following the journey keeps me accountable too — so thank you for cheering me on.

If You’ve Been Meaning to Sponsor…

This is your sign 😊

If you’ve been watching quietly from the sidelines and thinking:

“I’ll donate later…”

I’d love your support today.

Every contribution helps move this goal forward and means a huge amount personally.

And if sponsoring isn’t possible right now, sharing the page with friends, family, or colleagues is just as appreciated.

Thank you again for every message, donation, share, and word of encouragement.

I’ll keep training.
You keep cheering.
