Mel's Coronation Marathon

I did it!! Day 22 and 26.2 miles DONE!! Thank you for all your support and donations - we hit my target today too!! Having a well deserved rest and an ice lolly to celebrate...it was rather warm today 🌞 Thank You everyone, you're all Amazing, love Mel xx

Woo Hoo - 2 weeks in and I'm totally on target!! 16.55 miles down and I've just crossed over Kew Bridge...Just 9.65 miles to go and £20 till we hit the £400 target - BIG Thank You to everyone who has donated, you are Amazing!! I'm going to enjoy the weather and get my walking in today while the sun is shining...Mel xx

5 Days in and just over 5 miles walked - on target!! Ready to tackle todays walk and I've managed to pick up a couple of cheerleaders to help too!! Thank you SO much for your donations to date, we smashed the fundraising target so fast that I've set it a bit higher to spur me on and hopefully raise more for the centre. Every penny raised goes to the centre, so thank you for supporting us!! Fingers crossed for more sun and less rain for my walks too...Mel xx

Just a few days to go till the official start!! I've been working hard on getting my steps in for preparation for the challenge - all is going well at the moment. So why am I doing this? I do enjoy pushing my (new) limits and keeping moving - very important with MS - and at the same time I can raise awareness and funds for the very wonderful MS Therapy Centre near by. The centre is a really great place to go for non-medication therapies that help me so much. It's a lovely friendly and social place where I can go and no one bats and eyelid if I'm in the wheelchair one week and using the rollator the next - they understand the good days and bad days, no explanation required. I'm very grateful for the donations so far - and really excited that I've reached 50% of my target already - THANK YOU!! Mel xx
