Hello – a walk to support a friend

by

Tomorrow I am setting off on a walk to raise money for the Royal United Hospital in Bath (RUH Bath). This is to support my friend who has worked at the hospital for several years, but sadly is not well enough to walk with me. I know this is a cause that matters a lot to her.

The hike is going to be way longer than any I’ve done for a while (over 100 miles if I get as far as I plan). It’s in England, and, my family will be joining where they can. Sadly the pandemic has made it too difficult to arrange a bigger walking group.

My aim is to write some postcard style blogs en route to let you know how it’s all going. I’d love your company if you have the time to read. I hope I’ll have the energy to write.

I have set up a JustGiving Page, and I’d be so grateful if you were able to give any amount at all.

These are the ladies (school friends) who inspired me to start walking. This was in 2018. The walk was organised by a friend in Madrid - the rest of us were from UK, South Africa, France and Australia. Sadly we cannot walk together now because of Covid.

“It’s time to make some wrong things right!”

The 2 Incredibles – who are they?

Tom Benyon is one, and his superpower, unleashed as the millennium changed, is his ability to honour the forgotten of Zimbabwe. Stubborn and determined bearer of the deep red roundel for ZANE (Zimbabwe a National Emergency), he strides the valleys and peaks of his island home to raise ransom for those held hostage by lack of care. His mission – to bring them care.
