Thames Path Challenge

Story

I am taking part in the 100km walk along the Thames Path from Putney to Henley to raise money for the British Lung Foundation in my dad's memory. It is an endurance challenge throughout the day and night with expected completion times for most of between 20 and 30 hours. Thank you everyone for your sponsorship. The support is appreciated.

Thank you so much everyone who has sponsored me. If you'd like to donate and haven't done you can of course still do so. Any donation is much appricated. I completed the 100km walk from Putney to Henley along the Thames Path in 27 hours 22 minutes and 29 seconds (which is inclusive of meal and rest stops and being slowed by multiple blisters!) The walk was an enjoyable journey the majority of the time but there were also several sections that were incredibily both emotionally and physically draining. Definitely proud of my achievement and grateful for the experience. I have absolutely no intention of ever walking 100km in one go again. Saying this I am sure I will happily consider other types of challenges that may come my way in the future. Louise x
