My Story

HARP has always been a charity I have supported and is something I feel strongly about.  For the past few years Mike and I have donated to HARP at Christmas, whether it be through making a donation instead of sending Christmas cards, donating to their local charity shop, or putting together an essentials gift box... This year I recieved emails about volunteering at a Soup Kitchen for homeless people but with a newborn baby it would have been tricky.

By walking at least 31 miles in 31 days in January, not only can I contribute a little bit more than usual, but it's also a great excuse for me to get some of my fitness back, and have a positive start to the year!

I plan to do some of the walks alone, and some with family and friends - Following Covid social distancing guidelines of course.

£10 will help cover costs of 2 nights in a hostel for a homeless person, £20 will provide someone a chance to talk through their problems with a professional support worker, and £45 will provide a pack for a homeless person to get back on their feet.

I hope you'll support me to support HARP by donating even the smallest amount. :)
