Poem

Thursday 29th May
Someone in the Walk 100miles for Parkinsons group on Facebook gave me permission to share this poem he wrote. 
The Challenge.

Walk 100 miles in May for Parkinson's UK.

In the face of Parkinson's, we stand tall,
A united force, answering the call,
With every step, we raise our voice,
To find a cure, to give hope a choice.

Through streets and parks, lets march with pride,
Our hearts filled with purpose, side by side,
Each stride we take, a symbol of our might,
To conquer this disease, to bring back the light.

We walk for those who struggle each day,
Whose bodies tremble, whose voices may sway,
We walk for their families, who bear the load,
With unwavering love, they too share the road.

We walk for a future where Parkinson's is gone,
Where laughter and movement can carry on,
Where dreams are fulfilled, and spirits soar,
A world where hope is forevermore.

So join us, dear sponsor, in this noble quest,
Your support will fuel our tireless zest,
Together, we'll walk, we'll fight, we'll prevail,
Until Parkinson's is but a distant tale.

For every pound raised, a step we'll take,
Towards a cure, a brighter future we'll make,
So please, lend your hand, your heart, your might,
In this walk for a cure, let's shine a light.

A Poem by Neil Fallon.

Another mile ticked off

Thursday 29th May
Just arrived in Marseille for the long weekend. Just over a mile from the station to where we are staying. Lots of walking to be done this weekend I am sure.

Today's walk- to the pub

Wednesday 28th May
What do you the evening before a long 4 day weekend? Go to pub of course. Mile and a half there and back to the car.

Yesterday's walk.

Wednesday 28th May
After this, I only had 13 miles left.

Walk after school/work

Wednesday 28th May
I missed this yesterday. Luckily the planned rain held off so I could go for a walk after work. I would have walked further but on the way started to feel blisters appearing. Looked down and saw I had newer trainers on that I had not completed my other walks in 🫣 so had to turn round to get back to the car. Still managed 4,25 miles though.

Just seen this on the Facebook page..

Sunday 25th May

Rainy car boot

Sunday 25th May
Come to a car boot and the skies have opened. Pause in the walking...

Problem with my fitbit tracker?

Saturday 24th May
When I arrived home it said I had walked 5,24 miles...it has now changed it to only 4,7 miles. Having googled the number of steps I have walked, with my stride length, it should be around 5,69 miles? Adding up the total number of steps I have done since 1st May  (207719) this is 90.85miles. Have I walked further than I  think? 

Today's walk

Saturday 24th May

Another 5miles.

Saturday 24th May
Walked back from the market a different way so my total walk was 5,24 miles. 

Walk to the market.

Saturday 24th May
A grey cloudy day and bit drizzly, where I nearly decided I'll wait until it's sunny later but no here I am out and about again. 

Tonight's walk

Friday 23rd May

I must be mad....

Friday 23rd May
I must be mad...after being on my feet for most of the day and having already walked over 3 miles during the day, I have decided to walk another 3 miles to the shopping centre (and then possibly back again) for Walk 100miles for Parkinsons.  I feel like the target is slipping away and I only have 7 days left.

Walk in the forest

Sunday 11th May
Should have been a bit longer but forgot to start the Fitbit when I left the house.

Day 11

Sunday 11th May
After day 11, I am on around 24 miles. Still 20 days to go..

Thank you to my sponsors
