500 mile Walking Challenge

My story

I will walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more just to be that girl that walked 500 miles to help build Owl Blue's New Home

Earlier this year after searching for support and going around in circles, we were eventually directed to Owl Blue. The support Nichola continues to give to Jo and I can never be fully expressed in words alone, so this is my way to support them. A small token of thanks towards helping Stuart create the extra offices they desperately need, which will allow them to provide much needed support for other families.

My 500 mile walking challenge will start from 1st November 24
The mileage will be added up from all the various walks I will be doing from dog walks and other outdoor walks including when i attend walking hockey (wockey).
I will keep a record of each walk from my Garmin as well as taking photos and the odd video, these will be shared on here at regular intervals

Thank you for your support and donations
love 
Gail

Here are some of my walks

How are we coming to the end of day 18 already! Since my last update I've completed a further 51 miles, leaving me with 402 miles to complete. 
Some days with one thing and another it's been hard to stay motivated. But I've made myself get out even if it's only been a mile completed, it's still better than nothing. I'm not counting miles completed indoors around the home, just all the dog walks and other outdoor walks.
Tomorrow we are travelling to Manchester to attend a funeral so there won't be any miles added up during that time. 
I will hopefully though still get our dogs out tomorrow evening.
Thank you for your continued support and sponsorship so far.  It really does mean a lot and helps me to keep going 
Take care all 🥰

Hello all
So 9 days completed and I have 453 miles left to walk! 
On the 6th I managed to cover a total of 9 miles, the most so far in one day.  Some days are easier than others to get the miles in, but on the harder days, getting even a mile completed is better than nothing. 
Today the miles have been less as I have been playing in a touch rugby tournament, which involved a lot of running! Rather than walking!
Look out for my next update as me and my feet continue our walking
