THESE FEET WERE MADE FOR WALKING OVER Spring Bank Holiday, Stocksbridge woman, Chris Milnes, walked 60 miles from London to Brighton in aid of Alzheimer’s society.

She left Richmond Park at 7.30am on Saturday morning and reached Brighton race course at 11.27am on Sunday morning after walking continuously for 28 hours. “It’s called an Ultra Challenge for good reason”, says Chris, “It was tough, the hardest thing I’ve ever done but then living with Alzheimer’s is tougher.” Chris has set herself a year long challenge to raise £2,000 by walking 2,000 kilometres in 2018 and is taking on various long walks during the year. She had already completed a 40k walk around Windsor and a 50k walk around the Isle of White. The London to Brighton is the longest of these walks and took her along the Thames pathway, through the outer suburbs of London and over the North and South Downs. It was a hot and humid weekend and during the night they were treated to spectacular displays of lightening and

the rumble of distant thunder but luckily there were only light showers.

Chris has very personal reasons to support Alzheimer’s Society as she has a cousin who has been living with advanced Alzheimer’s for several years and she also lost a close friend to Alzheimer’s three years ago. Chris explains that she feels so fortunate that she is still able to walk and enjoy the wonderful countryside that surrounds us. Alzheimer’s is an awful disease that affects so many families and destroys so many lives. Chris regularly walks (and talks) with Beryl’s Wednesday Walking Group and Barnsley U3A Thursday Walking group as well as attending Alison Nockels Pilates classes and trains weekly with Jake at fit20 Fox Valley. Chris’s challenge ends on December 31 this year, which is also her 70th birthday, so she is hoping to have a big celebration of a successful year. If you feel you would like to support Chris’s fundraising you can donate via her just giving page (see below) or please say hello if you see her out training. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/chris-milnes4dementia
