Support my challenge to leave MS behind!

I’m taking part in The May 50K challenge this May to raise funds for life-changing research into multiple sclerosis!

MS strikes young people in the prime of their lives. The average age of diagnosis is only 30 years old, and there is no known cure.

Please make a donation and support my challenge to leave MS where it belongs, behind us.

Your donation will support research into the prevention, treatment and finding a cure for multiple sclerosis to change lives.

Thank you!

My Updates

Well I’ve walked 104 km while on a boat, train & now plane.

Well there was a lot of walking to do in France! Managed to reach 100 km in 16 days so I better see if I can… double that??  Going to be hard the next 24 hours while in a plane 🤭

Disney land & studios Paris

Although Disney Paris is like a taster of Disney in comparison to LA & Florida, there is still lots of walking to be done ☺️

Disney Paris

Let’s see how many steps and km we can cover here. 
First day: 
9 km
6 floors
14 000 steps 

Canal kilometres.

I walked  66 km while cruising 
(pain au chocolat is a mighty incentive!),
 climbed 50 floors (the towns are always on top of the hill!)
91 335 steps total 
Not bad for being on a boat most the day! 

Boat time

Although we motored along each day we still managed to cover some km checking out boulangeries, medieval towns, Roman baths, cathedrals, and the general Country side. 

May 3-12

We boarded our little canal boat for 9 days. But we anchored every night and walked. Mostly in search of a boulangerie! But also around some amazing old towns, like stepping in to the history pages. 

May 2 we walked our last walk in Avenue de Champagne

We said goodbye with a final few tastings, shopping, a great lunch at our favourite Taverna & a last stroll on The Avenue. 🥂🇫🇷

Walking May 1 & 2

Our walk started on May 1 when we were visiting the city of Rheims, France. We walked the hills & the streets, visited a cathedral & Pommery Champagne. Got a lot of steps in that day! 17 000!! 11 km. And climbed 13 floors! Those cellar tunnels are looong & deep!! But the champagne was a great reward 🤗🥂🇫🇷

Almost 1/2 way through.

I thought 9 days on a canal boat was going to be a challenge getting to 100km, but my boat mates were ever helpful as we hunted down boulangeries & castles ashore! 
Achieved 84 km Walking so far !
