Week Two complete

125km In Now, Halfway Through!

Date: 14/05/2025

Yesterday, I had the privilege of participating in a baton-moving leg, walking 4.8 miles from Gosport to Fareham with colleagues from the London and South area. The leg was divided into three parts, and due to work commitments, I could only walk the first part. However, props to the rest of the team who completed the full 14 miles!

As a group, we have now covered an incredible 95,690km and raised a staggering £130,301.00, far surpassing our initial target of £100,000. This achievement is a testament to the dedication and hard work of everyone involved.

Silver and I are doing our bit, and while I don't like to ask, if you could sponsor me with anything you can, it would go towards our fantastic charities and truly make a difference. Every contribution counts and helps us support those in need.

Thank you for your support! Let's keep pushing forward and make an even bigger impact together. 💪

Week One: A Strong Start! 

Moving Through May: My 250km Adventure with Silver for a Great Cause! 🚶‍♂️🐾🌸

Hi everyone,

This May, I’m lacing up my walking shoes and embarking on a journey that’s sure to give MyFitnessPal a run for its money! I’m participating in Moving Through May, a fantastic fundraising initiative by the Kier Foundation. As part of Kier Transportation, I’m joining forces with colleagues across the group to raise a whopping £100,000 for three incredible charities: Breast Cancer Now, Prostate Cancer UK, and The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

Now, here’s the fun part: I’ve pledged to walk 250km throughout the month. Yes, you read that right—250km! That’s like walking from Winchester to London and back, with a few detours for coffee breaks. And I won’t be doing it alone—most of my walking will be with my trusty 2.5-year-old American Bully, Silver. She's as excited as I am (though she might be more interested in the squirrels along the way).

My goal is to raise at least £50—though, let’s be honest, smashing that target would be absolutely brilliant! So, if you’d like to see me transform into a walking machine and support these worthy causes, please follow the link to my Moving Through May Homepage. Every little bit helps, and your support means the world to me (and my soon-to-be very tired feet).

Thank you for your support and let’s make this May one to remember!
