I'm taking on 160 miles in March
I'm taking on 40, 80, or 160 miles this March!
40 miles matches the average distance that the Thames Valley Air Ambulance helicopter flies to reach an emergency. The challenge is to walk, run, swim, cycle or wheel my way to 40, 80, or 160 miles, while helping Thames Valley Air Ambulance crews be there for people when they need them the most. TVAA are not government or lottery funded, and rely on the generosity of the community, like you, to provide the best critical care at the scene and beyond. Thank you for your support!

Why I'm doing this...
Friday 21st FebI'm taking on 160 miles this March!
The month March marks a year since Dad fell ill and.... I still don't know how to say it!
Died is too final. Lost is like a cat! Passed, too wish washy. Left, makes it sound like he had a choice.
Anyway... on the 1st March it will be the day that the Air Ambulance team tried saving Dads life. Cydney will be 10 weeks old. And it's the start of the challenge.
So in for a penny in for a pound. I'm going to give everything I've got to walking 160 miles in March in honour of Dad. I haven't worked out in years. I was the unfittest and biggest I've ever been when Dad went. And although I'm a few pounds down, I haven't done much since having a baby weeks ago.
So to raise money for TVAA who did all the could for Dad and our family that night, I'm taking on my biggest physical challenge EVER!
I'd be most grateful for all your support. If you are able to financially donate ANY amount, please do! Or just keep me in your thoughts and prayers... the body is going to need them!
