We did it!
We did it, we did it in a different way this year, and smashed our targets by raising £17,093 while having fun at the same time.
If you took part, how did you do your Virtual Global 6K?
Friends joined me walking 6K through a local park. And, as it was virtual, I also had friends take part all around the world.
It started as a glorious sunny day and we were happily chatting along the way, but as we got further into the walk, we started to think...
Could we do this every day? Every day, just to get one of life’s essential needs?
Would we want our five-year-old to do this every day? One little boy asked his mummy why she was going out to walk 6km with her friend. She told him that children in other countries must walk that far just to get water for the family. His reply: "Don’t they have water in their house?"
Some of my friends were shocked too. They'd never thought or even realised that lots of people (mainly children and young girls), need to walk so far for water every day - and we just have to turn on a tap.
So, every step meant something and made a difference.
