Castle to Castle 100 Charity Miles - 25-27th July

Aim

Supporting my amazing golden friends & stars above, raising money for charities doing profound work - lets see what's possible

Tomorrow...25th July, I said never again. Never would i attempt 100 miles on foot, the Rat Race Castle to Castle 100 miles from Edinburgh to Glamis I hope .. but here we are, about to register. Why.... I know, let's acknowledge this! 

Life can send curve balls, the most amazing ones, the toughest and the best.... but 2026 has brought the curve balls..... losing our lovely cousin Catherine & friend Richard to cancer, another lovely cousin and one of my best friends having a horse fall and being in a coma, and amazing friend Emma navgivating early onset of Parkinsons.... 

I know walking 100 miles won't change anything, but it hopefully will help raise a little money for amazing charities, give Louisa and Emma something to follow and anyone reading the hope that something is possible, however far I get 

Why a crowd fund - I want to split the money, if any, donated with 4 charities and will post screen shots of the donations made on 24th August, a month after I complete... 

MacMillan - for Catherine & Richard, Bob, Berts and all above plus my golden friends here, I care for so much 

Riders Minds/British Eventing Trust/Scottish Farmers Mental Health Charities  - helping riders affected by accidents and injuries, for Louisa and rememering Sophie and Kerry who lost their lives last weekend doing what they loved 

Parkinsons - for Emma and all those affected, especially early onset - do check out the Big Sky Hideway too 

Raleigh International - giving young people a bursary to experience a life changing 3 months and make a difference to others 

In full transparency....since my last 100 miles which nearly broke me, I've had a stress fracture (fully healed), final gynae op after 2 years of ops, an op to remove a large growth in my cheek cavity, random i know and an allergic reaction to grass with adrenal shot.... 

So while i walk a lot and have done some walking marathons since the big op, there are more tests and ops to come and who know's what is possible, 

But let's see.... as some one said, you love a challenge.... I do, but I also love, love, seeing golden souls in my life, laughing and being together, hugs, happiness, sunsets, sunrise.... the simple things, 

Challenges expand our horiszons and possibilities 

Being & present gives us a sense of peace, love and happiness 

Whatever is challenging for you right now I hope it passes 

and whatever is amazing, little or big I hope you feel and share the magic, 

I like Brad Stulbergs quote 'Caring is courageous, it takes guts. The cost of stepping into the arena and giving it your all is the potential for heartbreak. whatever the reason. Do it anyway....' 

So I'll see you on the other side of whatever unfolds,
