As many of you know, I’ve been fundraising for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, a cause incredibly close to my heart after my battle with breast cancer two years ago. Check out the pic of my fantastic accountability “team” and me at the finish line!
A HUGE thank you to everyone who supported me! Whether you donated, shared my page, or just sent a word of encouragement, it all made a difference. I started with a modest goal of £100, which we smashed in just a few hours! We even blew past the revised goal of £350, finishing at a whopping £435!
Last year, I chickened out of similar events. Excuses galore – wouldn’t finish, raise enough, or even make it on time! This year, I decided to “walk the walk” (pun intended!). In my coaching sessions, I often ask clients, “What will you gain from standing still?” It was time for me to take my own advice.
Here’s what got me across the finish line:
🚶♀️#Accountability: Sharing my goal with friends, family, and even social media kept me on track.
🚶♀️#RealisticGoals: Starting small and building momentum helped me stay motivated.
🚶♀️#Teamwork: Supporting my 8-year-old partner in crime with cheers like “Keep on keeping on!” and “Just a little further for that ice cream!” towards the end.
This experience proves that sometimes, all it takes is the first step, even when you doubt yourself.
If you’re inspired and would like to donate, you can still contribute to this amazing cause: https://lnkd.in/ewhB2bKe

1moThank you for all your support! With only a few weeks left to go, I've raised an astonishing $19,216 for this year's 3-day, 60 mile walk (and nearly $40,000 over the past 3 years). There's still time to donate, if you want to help me get to $20,000 or even $25,000! https://www.the3day.org/site/TR/2024/NewEnglandEvent2024?px=8173145&pg=personal&fr_id=2283
