On the 29th July myself and my husband, Gary (Carries dad), will be setting off on a fund raising event for the charity. We are walking from Blackpool Beach to Scarborough Beach over a 4 day period. We are planning on walking for around 12 hours a day and hopefully covering approx 34 miles for the first 3 days and leaving us with a shorter final days walk.
We have been very lucky to be loaned a motor home to use for the walk so there will be a bed to sleep in, shower and a cooker. Three things that will become very important to us over the week.
We would like to think that on the route we might be able to persuade some local people to join us for a short burst of walking or just to donate some pennies.
Our journey will take us through some beautiful countryside, including Clitheroe, Skipton, Harrogate, Malton and finally Scarborough. I'm sure that we will both be very happy to reach the beach and dip our feet in the cooling waters.
If you or someone you know will be anywhere in the area during our walk please come along and say hello. We will be making regular posts to let people know where we are on our journey and we have support from other charity members who will be tracking our moves.
Every penny we raise will go towards the fund to provide a bereavement support centre, something that is so badly needed.
Throughout the walk we will both be using different strategies to keep us going from listening to inspiring music and music we associate with Charlie, to looking at pictures of Charlie to keep us inspired to keep on walking. I'm starting to feel a little excited about the walk now, not only as i'm looking forward to seeing the beautiful surroundings but also thinking the money raised will move us one more step closer to our dream.
