I’m taking part in Million Makers, raising funds for The King’s Trust.
The King’s Trust believes that every young person should have the chance to succeed, no matter what their background or the challenges they are facing. The recent Class of Covid report reveals almost half of young people in the UK (49%) feel anxious about their future on a daily basis, with more than a third (35%) feeling that their life is spiralling out of control.
The courses offered by The Trust help young people aged 11-30 to develop essential life skills, get ready for work, access job opportunities and create a brighter future for themselves.
Please help me to support The King's Trust by donating and sharing my page.

Day 9 - 23
Monday 21st Oct Sorry I have missed my blog, I cant access it via my phone and I've been away on holiday.I managed to continue my skipping overseas and got some sun in between.
I had hoped I would be able to do 100 skips without stopping by now but seems that isn't a skill I have acquired (YET!). I do prefer the rope at the work gym. Nice and weighted! I smash out 100 in one go with that one, easy.
Anyway, still going, 6 days left and chuffed with the donations so far, thank you so much!
Day 8
Thursday 3rd Oct After searching high and low in the work gym and deciding there was no skipping rope, I spotted it.This was a serious skipping rope, it felt professional.
I think this is why I managed the full 100 in one go. Although I have noticed I mange more when I am in my fitness mode... ie just been to the gym, or at the gym...
So yeah, smashed the 100 today and thinking it was def due to the professional rope!
Day 7
Thursday 3rd Oct Another rubbish day of weather but avoided the rain for my skipping. ALMOST managed to complete the 100 without stopping and got to 98... ridiculous.so 100 in two.... but not terrible.
