Final Total

I have collected all the sponsor money from the Midnight Walk, ready to send to St Ann's Hospice. I am very pleased that our total amount is £186.

Done It, Got The T-shirt (and a shiny medal)

Last night, my two teenagers and I, took part in the Manchester Midnight Walk, along with a group of friends. We walked the 10km as part of a long snake of people in yellow t-shirts, some in fancy dress, others wearing halos, flashing bunny ears or beenie-boppers!
There was a great atmosphere and lots of cheering from people outside pubs as we passed. The high point for me was being serenaded by 2 young men and a ukelele as they passed us all, singing "Keep walking... keep walking..."
 Hopefully a good deal of money was raised for St. Ann's Hospice in Stockport. Up to now, my family raised over £160.

My hips are aching today and I may sneak a little nap, but I'm very glad we did it:D

Manchester Midnight Walk

I am taking part in the Manchester Midnight Walk on 25th June to help raise money for St Ann's Hospice

It is a 10km walk (I don't do running, so no races for me!)

The hospice does crucial work and it costs so much to run- all the donations make a huge impact.
I took part 2 years ago and it was a fun and life- affirming experience. The hardest part for me was staying up so late as I do love my bed and we didn't set off walking till midnight (obviously). However, there was lots of entertainment to keep us going till then, including Mr Motivator doing the warm-up!

I haven't exactly been in training, unless you include my daily dog walks, but this year, as well as friends I am taking my two teens to help me along:)

If you would like to make a donation to St Ann's Hospice, you can do this simply and securely through my "just giving" page www.justgiving.com/Michelle-Barnard/

Many thanks in anticipation. I'll take my camera on the night and keep you posted!
