Day 31

Wednesday 31st Mar
Hi folks..
Bad news I'm afraid, I have tried a walk, but to no avail. My arm started hurting too much. So i will finish my 300km ASAP when I'm back to normal, or normalish, what ever that is lol.. hopefully I can post it on here after today..  I have to say I've enjoyed the challenge, and to know that all money raised will go to such a good cause that is very close to my family and others lives too, makes it so worth while..
And honestly, you have all been brilliant and so generous too, so a big hug and thanks to you all. Keep checking for updates 😁, take care and stay safe xxx

Day 30

Tuesday 30th Mar
Hello again everyone.. as you can imagine, and those out there that have broken a limb at some point know, getting to grips with the use of one arm takes a couple of days to get used to, first time for me at this age too!!! Lol. I walked to the shop over the road yesterday to get a paper.. our town is so hilly that it killed my arm.. so I'm afraid my 3days left of walking will have to be postponed,  I will try again today and see how it goes, I will do the last 22km of my 300km as promised. It may be in small doses though lol... or I shall do it as soon as I'm able... what this space 😁 .. love to you all thank you & take care xx

Day 28

Monday 29th Mar
Lol... where do I begin!!!! What a day is all i can say.. it was very windy yesterday.. so Ian & I chose a new route which would clock up the km... we were doing so well, that I was determined to get up a certain hill that sometimes beats me lol.. I wasn't going to let that happen this time though, I didn't want to get off my bike and walk!!.. so half way up, promptly changing gear, I fell off the bl***y thing onto the kerb... yes folks we ended up in Corby OOH for 3hrs, during which they took quite a few X-rays, then was told I may have dislocated my shoulder so I need to go to Kettering A&E...  that we did. After a few more X-rays, they confirmed it was in fact broken at the kneck of the joint, and was slightly out of joint, but would fix itself I  time...what a plonka eh? . we got back home about 11pm.. But ook on the bright side, we have done 25km yippee 😃.. only another 22 to go... I can walk them 🙂..  thanks again for all your support and donations.. I know Make 2nds Count is soooo worth it ... take care all.. xx

Day 26

Friday 26th Mar
What a blustery day !!! Flippin wind was against me, fresh stone & gravel on the Stanwick lakes paths towards Thrapston, made it a very interesting cycle lol.. good cardio though, couldn't make it to the top of Stanwick church hill, had to get off and push 🤣.. but got back home before I got too wet.. but worth it for a very good cause. Now a cuppa 🙂.. take care all xx

Tuesday 2nd Mar
This picture wasn't taken today but was taken at a time during the pandemic when going to hospital appointments to get my treatment was scary. This parcel arrived at my doorstep from the wonderful make 2nds count and little lifts and it made my entire week at the time and is still currently in use for my appointments. It makes having to go to hospital feel so much cosier and brings a familiarity that is hard to get when everything in the world is so different to how it once was. This is just one of the many beautiful and amazing things Make 2nds count does alongside funding incredible research. Just one of the many reasons I have chosen to challenge myself and raise money for them. Today I only managed 3.29 km on my walk but I will make up for it one day this week 😁. I am so grateful for all the donations that have been made so far! What an incredible bunch of people! Xxx

Tuesday 2nd Mar
