Whizz-Kidz Neon Nightwalk

On Friday at 7pm my colleagues and I took part in the Neon a nightwalk for a Whizz-Kidz, our charity partner which provides electric wheelchairs and other mobility equipment for disabled children to help them lead more active lives. 

We were a bit apprehensive because the weather forecast was heavy rain all through the night, and as my colleague was bringing along his 9 and 5 year old children, we were a bit concerned the weather would put a real dampener on the night. 

But it only drizzled at most (this was still a little miserable when matched with gale force winds!) and the night was EXCELLENT. We all really enjoyed ourselves and managed the 10 miles in 5 hours, rounding up at Whizz-Kidz HQ at midnight, with a few toilet and refreshment breaks in between.

If you're gona do it you may as well do it properly ;)

It's so awesome to walk so far around London at night and take in all of the different scenery. We walked past all of the famous landmarks, passed a lot of amused and supportive people, and had a fantastic time raising money for our lovely charity. 

I think the total raised for us on the night is nearing £5,000, so pleased with that. We are soooo close to our £35k total fundraising goal and me being me now wants to push it to £4k... We have two months left and anything is possible!
