I'm taking on Race Across the UK to support the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity!
This September, I’ll be racing from Edinburgh to Dartmouth with my teammate - navigating only by public transport and our own two feet. No shortcuts, no map apps - just strategy, endurance, and determination!
But this challenge is about more than just the adventure. I’m raising funds for the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC), who provide crucial support to serving personnel, veterans, and their families. From hardship grants to mental health support, financial assistance to family welfare, RNRMC is there for those who serve or have served, when they need it most.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help make a real difference. Please support my challenge and help me raise vital funds for our Naval community!
My Updates
Gin and Jigsaw!
Saturday 12th Jul
Puzzles were laid out at each table (thank you Trudy for lending us much of your stash!) and as the evening progressed, much chatting, nattering and puzzling was done!
Thank you to all who came along - What a brilliant way to spend an evening! And with each guest paying a suggested donation of £10, we made over £100 for the RNRMC! A successful evening all round!

An early start at the Southsea Car Boot sale!
Saturday 12th Jul
After the gates opened to the public, things really picked up as the morning progressed and the sun got higher in the sky. We were selling everything from baby clothes, books, bags, cups, glassware and even a candelabra, but the most popular items were definitely the puzzles and dinner plates! Most items were going for £1 but a real success was selling a patchwork blanket for £15.
Despite a surprising amount of negotiation (/haggling!) going on, we made about £50 so that's another tidy sum to add to the pot!
