Thank you to everyone who has supported us and cheered us on! We did it! 💪

What a superb team effort!

WE DID IT! 🧡🙌 5,000km complete!

What an incredible effort from our 14-strong ADTREX 5000 team — walking, running, paddling, swimming and cycling our way to the target! 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️🥾

But… we’ve still got 5 days left, so we’re not stopping! 💪

We’re less than £600 away from our fundraising target for North Kent Mind, South Kent Mind and The Young Lives Foundation.

If you can help us get over that final line, we’d be hugely grateful. 🧡

The team are going strong 💪

I don't have to… I get to. 💚

5.20am. Saturday.

Definitely not a time I wanted to be awake. Monty was still sleeping and, quite frankly, I really wanted to be too!

But I'd committed to being part of the Adtrex 5000 team, contributing my 500km to our team's 5,000km and £3,000 challenge, where every kilometre counts for mental health, specifically for Young Lives Foundation - YLF, North Kent Mind and South Kent Mind.

So… alarm on.
Swim in the lake.
Then onto the bike.

I didn't want to.

I probably didn't need to that day either.

Then came the switch:

I get to.

Standing lakeside, watching the morning mist hover above the still water, I thought:

How utterly fortunate am I that I get to do this?

Clipping into my pedals, ready for some solo kilometres around the New Forest, I thought it again.

Since finding myself at Camp 1 on Everest during the 2015 earthquake, I wake up every day thinking:

How utterly fortunate am I to get another day?

So every swim stroke, pedal turn, running step and dog walk becomes something I get to do, rather than something I have to do.

And during ADTREX 5000, every kilometre is also for those we're supporting. 💜

If you'd like to put a pound or two behind our kilometres, we'd love your support. You can enter our raffle to win some fab prizes (message Adtrex for details) or donate via our fundraising page - https://gvwhl.com/IPDAM

And my coach's response to my cycling route?

“You rode a love heart. How thoughtful!” ❤️

(I'll be back online in September after my August pause, so please don't think I'm being rude if I don't respond to comments until then!)

🌿 Fancy a trip out?

We highly recommend Knowler Farm in Stelling Minnis — a lovely place for great food, coffee, camping and events. ☕️🌿

And if you visit before the end of August, don’t forget to take part in their raffle! 🎟️

There are 2 delicious afternoon teas for two up for grabs, with tickets just £2 per square.

Even better, your support helps us raise money for Young Lives Foundation, Mind South Kent and Mind North Kent. ❤️

So why not pop along, enjoy a coffee or something to eat, and grab yourself a few raffle squares while you’re there?

Good luck! 🍰☕️🎟️
