About

Okay so here's a crazy thing! I've joined a group of Spice members who are walking 25 miles from Brum to Lichfield, along canal towpaths and greenways. It will be a long, hard day of walking and definitely a challenge for me .. who thinks anything more than 6 miles and I need Oxygen!!!!

We are doing it to support the work of Joy Butler Markham and her charity Manacare, she is a retired businesswoman who was so moved by the plight of children who lost their parents in the 2004 Tsunami that she set up an orphanage in Sri Lanka .. where the Tsunami killed 35,000 people and left 900,000 homeless! She has expanded the work to care for children with special needs and for women and children who have been rescued from some pretty dire circumstances etc etc .. plus it's now Worldwide! Joy has moved mountains with her big heart so full of love, it's a charity where it's guaranteed that every penny raised will be spent on the needs of the people they serve. Small charities like this really need our support as they miss out on big sponsorship and can't afford advertising etc.

All walkers including little me .. have made the brave commitment to attempt the full 25 miles! If I actually get there .. it will MORE THAN DOUBLE my absolute, personal best (achieved once and a few years ago!!!) and I cannot guarantee that I will complete it .. BUT .. if I get £100 in sponsorship I will double it! Oh come on, pretty please with a cherry on top .. help me spread some love?!
