I'm walking miles to change young lives
On Sunday 6th October, I will be taking part in the Palace Walk. I will be walking 13.1 miles around Windsor to help young people create a better future for themselves.
The King's Trust has tailored programmes and provides long-term support give young people the practical skills and emotional resilience to pick themselves back up and create their own positive futures.
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 59% agreeing it feels frightening for their generation. Findings suggest the impact of the pandemic and now a cost-of-living crisis is taking its toll on young people, as 45% agree anxiety around recent political and economic events affects them daily. More than a third (35%) feel their life is spiralling out of control, and for those from lower income backgrounds, this increases to 41%.
Please help me to support The King's Trust by sponsoring my Palace Walk and sharing my page. Just a £20 donation could provide a young person with an experienced youth worker for an hour, building their confidence, resilience and motivation during this time.

My Updates
One day to go…
Saturday 5th Oct Looking forward to the big day tomorrow but tweaked my knee getting out the car last night! Pretty fit for an (almost) fifty year old….but my knees are buggered according to the doctor 😭 Quick 3 mile session this morning turned into a pretty slow 3 mile session. Tomorrow is going to hurt and to be honest, I’m a bit worried. No concerns about getting round, but not sure how long it will take, nor how long it will take to recover. Hopefully all will be good, but could do with some prayers, some encouragement and waking up without a hurty knee! Will have update tomorrow and probably some war wounds 😬Thank you to my Sponsors
