Another thank you … 🙏🏻

Sunday 31st Mar
Thank you once again … and sorry (not sorry) for another #marchinmarch post … but I am still smiling 🥰
 
I wanted to use the epic Don’t Stop Me Now track for the music on social media but the FB powers that be wouldn’t allow!

This little montage is for the memories and it is to round off the month and the end of March … and what a high to go out on … 

Happy Easter and still a few hours until the end of March … 😜😜😜 …  https://bit.ly/3ImHhuj

Thank you Rebecca Stevens - you are awesome xx

WE DID IT!!!

Saturday 30th Mar
WE DID IT!!!

12.5 miles for #MarchinMarch and I kept my helmet on the whole way 😂

We got bibbed at along the route, we were called spacemen, moonwalkers and astronauts by little kids 😂😂😂

We’ve have many chats with folk along the way talking about the amazing work of Combat Stress. 

I know it isn’t a marathon in terms of distance but my goodness it was hilly and muddy and slippy and … did I mention hilly!! 😂😂😂

Beki sent bitesize chats along the way to friends at Trans Radio UK who are going to feature us on a programme with the lovely ladies who are veterans 🏳️‍⚧️

We’ve had incredible support along the way with a hot cross buns and coffee delivery provided by the lovely Fiona Meadows  at Denbies Vineyard and then we were met by our awesome support team at the end - Hazell Dean (80s pop legend!) - the lovely hostess Alex and Anwar - Deano came too and we missed Sam and Mike by a whisker but thanks for coming along 🥰 it meant so much 🥰

Ok - now this is the biggie … at the end of the walk we’ve raised more than I posted on social media yesterday- we are now up to £1117!!! 

Thank you everyone who has been more generous that I ever hoped for!! We started with a target of £350, which we increased to £500 and then to £900! 

Put into context and what it translates to for our veterans - this amount means that you have all helped two veterans with PTSD to recognise, understand and use their emotions to live the life they want in our 'Master your Emotions' programme.  Thank you so much 🙏🏻

We drove home and I was sitting in the car pretty emotional …. 

Thanks to my awesome Disco Ball buddy Beki - we kept each other giggling along the way - and we’ve put the world to rights.

An Epsom salts bath, bottle of fizz and fish and chips for Good Friday was calling and with a serious high calorie and step count - it felt very deserved.

Really proud of us as well as thanking the weather gods - it’s been a lovely day - nothing like sunshine when you are wrapped in tinfoil style clothing 😂😂😂

Still time to contribute … 😜

The Disco Ball Route is planned …

March in March … our route has been decided … and training has started .. 

Our route will be two-thirds of the Surrey Three Peaks Challenge - the route connecting Box Hill to Leith Hill. 

The Leith Hill Greenway is a new 11 mile (17km) route in the Surrey Hills, connecting Box Hill to Leith Hill. It follows a mostly traffic-free route down the Box Hill zig-zags, through Denbies vineyard, turning close to Ranmore Common and through Westcott, towards Coldharbour and Leith Hill tower.

Total ascent on the Leith Hill Greenway is around 500 metres (1600ft).

This might not be the longest #marchinmarch but it will definitely be a challenge for us walking disco balls … 

We will be most grateful for any donation - no matter how small - as part of our fundraising efforts to raise vital funds for veterans with PTSD that help get their lives back with Combat Stress … 

Please check out our page to donate and if you cannot donate - perhaps share our page … 

Many thanks in advance 🙏🏻

1 week and counting …

#marchinmarch is now the biggest one to date with fundraising through the roof  … and we really want to help make sure that it hits an even higher target … all to raise vital funds for veterans mental health!

It is our 1 week countdown to our March on Good Friday taking in two of the Surrey Peaks challenge - ending up at Leith Tower.

Beki and I have our #marchinmarch t-shirts and laces - and I’ve even collected a flag for the walk… the shiny helmets are polished and ready to go.

So we are shaking the proverbial donation bucket and no donation is too small (or too big! 😜) and very gratefully received by us, Combat Stress: The UK's Leading Charity for Veterans' Mental Health  and more importantly our veterans.

If a donation isn’t possible then a repost/share to your networks will be appreciated.

Many thanks …

The Human Disco Balls are Marching in March

After a few years away from fundraising, the Human Disco Balls are going to be swapping the midnight streets of Old London town to take on the Surrey Hills on what we are hoping will be a very Good Friday!  

The Disco Balls are joining the massive annual Combat Stress March in March fundraiser to raise vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.

With multiple fundraisers taking place all of the time, we wanted the make the 10-mile march challenging to make sure we work for the donations, hence tackling the hills and dales in the beautiful Surrey Hills.  Current levels of fitness will require proper training to get the legs and lungs working!  

We will keep everyone updated on our training as well as lots of pics and videos on the day!

Combat Stress is the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health. For over a century, they've helped former servicemen and women deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, they provide support to veterans from every service and every conflict.

We are taking on March in March to help take vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.

Thank you so much for your support and together we march!
