I’m Walking 60 Miles with My Dog, Hope, in September for Teenage Cancer Trust 🐾💛
This September, my spirited little partner-in-crime—Hope, my 14-month-old Pomeranian—will be by my side step for step as we take on a 60-mile challenge. But this isn’t just about fresh air, wagging tails, or exploring new paths. We’re walking to make a difference—ensuring no young person has to face cancer alone.
We’re proud to support Teenage Cancer Trust, the only UK charity dedicated to delivering specialised nursing care and emotional support to young people going through cancer treatment. These incredible teams create safe, understanding environments where teenagers and young adults can find connection, comfort, and strength.
How you can help make an impact:
- £25 could fund an hour with a Youth Support Coordinator—someone who helps a young person navigate anxiety, isolation, and the emotional challenges of treatment.
- £50 could help create welcoming spaces where young people can meet, share their stories, and support each other during one of life’s hardest times.
- Even a small donation, like £5, contributes to keeping vital support services running.
For Hope and me, 60 miles means early morning walks, rainy-day rambles, and of course, Hope pausing to sniff every interesting lamppost (he insists!). But for the courageous young people the Teenage Cancer Trust supports, your generosity means hope, empathy, and knowing they’re not walking their cancer journey alone.

Paws-itive September Challenge: Day 0 with Hope!
Sunday 31st Aug
Hello everyone!
As the summer days start to gently fade, I'm embarking on a new challenge for the entire month of September, and I've got my most enthusiastic walking buddy right by my side: my adorable Pomeranian, Hope! At just 15 months old, Hope is full of boundless energy and curiosity, and I couldn't ask for a better companion for this adventure.
Our goal? To walk 2 miles every single day for all of September. Today was our "Day 0" walk, a little warm-up to kick things off, and I'm thrilled to say we crushed our first 2 miles! The weather was perfect, and Hope was in her element, sniffing out every interesting leaf and greeting every friendly face we met.
It's amazing how much joy these daily walks bring, not just for Hope, but for me too. It's a chance to clear my head, enjoy the outdoors, and strengthen the bond with my sweet pup. I'll be sharing our progress, little anecdotes, and plenty of pictures of Hope's adventures right here.
Here’s a sneak peek at our Strava stats from today – proof that we’re officially in motion!
