Footsteps For Food – Update

Footsteps for Food: My Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge for Door 84!

Only 9 days to go until the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge, and I am amazed by how generous people have been in sponsoring me to provide much-needed funds for Door 84.

We’re over 90% of the way to our target of £3500 and if we can exceed it, that will be fantastic!

Am I ready for the challenge?

Well I’ve been going to the gym as usual, trying to increase the strength in my legs and have managed a few long walks. I’m not sure 15km with a few short steep bits is really sufficient preparation for 40km with 3 big hills….What can you do when you live in one of the flatter parts of the UK! However, I’ve been out to Bishop Wilton, Yearsley Forest and up to Sutton Bank in the last few weeks, so hopefully that will have had some positive impact.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated – it is much appreciated.

If anyone hasn’t got around to sponsoring me yet and is able to do so, please give what you can here. Anything donated will be matched by the Aviva Community Fund, effectively doubling the value of your money. Every penny really does count!

Wish me luck, and I’ll let you all know how it goes on 26th April – I just hope it’s not raining all the way around!”
