My Goal

I am making every step count this February

This February, I am taking part in BrainWalk and walking, jogging or running as far as I can to improve my own health and wellbeing and help save lives! 

I am raising money for the Encephalitis Society, a cause close to my heart.
Encephalitis is a neurological condition that can be devastating. Here are five facts you may not know: 


1. Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain.

2. It is caused by an infection or through the immune system attacking the brain.

3. Anyone can be affected by encephalitis – no matter their age, gender or ethnicity.

4. It has a high death rate and survivors are often left with an acquired brain injury and life-changing consequences.

5. In some cases, encephalitis can impact on mental health, causing difficult to deal with emotions and behaviours, and can lead to thoughts of self-harm and even suicide.

One person is diagnosed with encephalitis every minute across the world, and life for them and their loved ones will never be the same again.

Every donation I receive will go to the Encephalitis Society, helping accelerate understanding and awareness of encephalitis and ensuring that those affected by this serious neurological condition get the crucial help and support they need. Please help if you can.

Walk with Splodge the cat

Sunday 19th Feb
The cat decided to join in and I realised she’d followed me all the way to a main road. Got some extra steps in carrying her back to safety!

Day 19 Thornton Reservoir

Sunday 19th Feb
Caught up on some steps today and blew away the covid cobwebs. Lovely walk around Thornton Reservoir in Leicestershire 😃
Tuesday 14th Feb
Had a bit of a knockback because I've tested positive for Covid and been too unwell to walk 10000 every day. Luckily I was way ahead so I'm still on target. Hopefully I'll be back up to full speed soon! 

Day 6 walk with Jasper the Dog

Monday 6th Feb
Nice to complete my steps today talking to a good friend. Worn out her dog Jasper though :-)

Day 5 The Cotswolds

Sunday 5th Feb
 10.5km walk around the stunning countryside surrounding Bourton on the Water, Lower Slaughter and Upper Slaughter. Bumped into lots of dogs to fuss on the way round :-)
