    Hi guys, on Saturday 8th May, I am going to walk 5k on top of my normal daily walking to raise funds for Chris's House in Wishaw...any donation is greatly appreciated, times are tough for a lot of people financially and I totally understand if you can't spare anything.

    Thanks for reading x

    Chris’s House stands for ‘Centre of Help, Response and Intervention Surrounding Suicide’ and has been set up to offer a safe environment where people in, or approaching, suicidal crisis can have a safe place to go and get professional support. This will help them to begin to recover from their current mental ill health.

    I have started a crowdfunding page rather than a normal donation page so that any donation raised online can be directly added to the money raised offline before it's donated to Chris's House, I will get this verified by my management team at Argos.

    When drying my phone I closed the app and didn't get a chance to screen shot it like the previous one I did, I had two apps running in case the GPS jumps about or my signal dropped....anyway...this is my wee trek.

    Genuinely didn't feel like adding 2km(Cemetery visit) onto it challenged me as I felt fine at the 5k so kept going and tried to get it to about 10k.

    Here's my screenshots.....ignore the time that says 85mins....I wish I could get about as quick as that :56:

    Anyway, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and generosity :) x
