🥾WANT TO WALK WITH US? PLEASE READ🥾
The Staffordshire Way Challenge is nearly here! From Monday 10th – Friday 14th August, Teri Bryce and Jennifer Thursfield will be taking on 94 miles over 5 days to raise vital funds and awareness for Walk Talk Action.
This challenge was inspired by our Director Jennifer, who wanted to take on the Staffordshire Way — and from that idea, our huge 5-day fundraising challenge was born! 💚
We know lots of you have asked about joining us along the way, so we wanted to make something really clear:
This is not an organised public walking event. We are completing this as a fundraising challenge, and anyone who chooses to come along and walk with us does so by their own choice and at their own responsibility.
There is no transportation provided, so anyone joining us will need to arrange their own transport to and from their chosen start/finish points.
🥾 Want to walk 1 mile with us? Brilliant.
🥾 Want to do 5, 10 or 20 miles? Come along!
🥾 Want to join us for one full day? Amazing.
🥾 Fancy attempting the whole week alongside us? We’ll certainly appreciate the company!
Our daily start locations and route information are shown on our poster.
Please remember that our main focus throughout the week has to be completing the challenge safely and reaching our daily finish points. As the miles build up, we know emotions will be high, feet will be sore and energy levels will be tested!
We may not be able to respond to every message as quickly as we normally would. We’ll be concentrating on walking, navigating, doing live updates and logging our journey so you can follow the highs, lows and everything in between.
BUT PLEASE KEEP THE MESSAGES COMING! 💜
Every message of encouragement, every share, every donation and every person cheering us on will help build our morale.
By Friday, there is absolutely no doubt about it — we are going to be exhausted! 😅🥾
But hopefully we'll also be incredibly proud to have crossed that finish line knowing why we did it.
And we would LOVE to celebrate with you all at the end! 🎉
More information about our Friday celebration will be shared next week.
Finally, a massive THANK YOU to everyone who has donated, sponsored, shared our posts, offered advice or simply wished us well so far.
