I did it, just, and I mean literally just….. Last weekend I completed The Wall: Carlisle to Newcastle. 70 miles, 22hrs, multiple times I wanted to stop and felt almost like an out of body experience for the last 14 miles.
I cannot thank YOU enough for all your support, kindness and donations. They meant more than you will ever know, and I’m just sorry I am not sending you each a personal thank you, yet know this is personally to each of you.
Together, we have raised over £5,000 for Macmillan – this means everything, it can help fund a nurse in the home for a month, or support lines and more. Read my interview with Macmillan Cancer Care and why I chose to take part in The Wall HERE.
I would love to know how you are, as I return to coaching, recharging and the next chapter of 2025. Priorities of three I always say are good – I now have a priority of my ILM7 Executive Leadership coursework which feels like an equal if different challenge,
Also do ask me anything, what would YOU like to know, what should I write about and any other ideas etc.
I have an online meditation on Tues 24th June, 7.15pm, if you would like to join do pop a reply and come along, no experience at all needed, just a space to pause and recharge. You can also book online HERE
And I’ll be presenting at Yestival 28th June and at the Stylist Strong Woman Adventure Day, Lake Windermere 5th July. Look out for more dates in the July newsletter (SIGN UP HERE). I would love to see you somewhere – if you fancy sponsoring a stage at Coastfest in North Shields, best newcomer small festivals, John the organiser and the bands would be eternally grateful (he doesn’t think I can find a sponsor so let’s make his day!) Circle of support and community together – if anything appeals pop an email.
A snap shot summary is below…. enjoy and just thank YOU.
If I could give you one takeaway…. you inspire someone, just as you are. A hug, text, moment in time with people you love & care about is the most important in the World, for at the end of our days, all we have is love – and the present is our present, tomorrow is never guaranteed, so choose brave love…. your dreams & the simple things.
Keep believing in you and being more awesome than you realise.
Feel free to forward to anyone if it may help in any way and there are a few more insights to come on my socials, & July newsletter.
Thank you, a million times over,
Coach & friend, Kim xx
I did it…. I have no idea how… finished around 4am, 70 miles – 22hrs… Totally splatted & just coming vertical – rat race, The Wall – Carlisle to Newcastle jog so nearly broke me… but I made it
What a community You are…. thank YOU.
£5,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support so far. This can fund a nurse in the home for a month. This. Nothing else matters.

I used every tool I teach for The Wall. Mindset, strength, resilience, hydration, nutrition and so much more…. And it was tough… beyond, here’s a snapshot, enjoy 🙂
Start line… why, how, soooo wet I can’t do this, you know those I’m not feeling good days….. check point 2, 24miles, blisters & hope, check point 3, I like the wilds of hadrians hills, how lucky I am & done now, nothing left….. Check point 44miles, sit down for 44mins & question my life… think about stopping, collect a bag of sweets & coke with a golden name on it… carry on… somehow.
Pit stop 49miles, cried, too many sweets to deal with & way too far, but you’re still smiling said the amazing Marshall, keep going lassie…. pit stop 55miles, I can stop but I want to try as it’s for MacMillan…. fellow participant, my sisters going through treatment with them, can you do this leg for us, she’s my hero…. cried some more, took the tags off cosy jacket I was hoping to return as so expensive, Marshall laughing… on I went….
check point 63miles, this is madness, medic, sit down please for checks, you don’t look so good… I can’t, I won’t carry on…. have another coke & sweets…. step by step…. never have 7 miles felt so far…. new buddy Mark & I wobble along, maybe I could lie down on that bench, maybe I could be like a horse & sleep standing up, Marshall 4 miles to go… cried some more…. so nearly there, but I don’t know if I can do it….. focus, why it matters, love –
Dawn breaks….. I finish the Wall… splat, that’s a snapshot & I hope it makes you smile as it’s really a snapshot of life hey….. ebbs and flows, laugher & tears, hopes, fears and love
So Thank YOU so much for your donations, your support & everything…. so many people, it takes a community to do anything in this life,
Each of you inspire me, getting up when it feels hard, getting through tough times, sharing your joy, being amazing humans without even realising it,
To the golden souls above & loved ones around us, this is for you.
Tears. I wish it were different & I hope this makes a tiny difference.
Keep believing in you,
Don’t wait for the perfect time,
The present is our present.
❤️Choose love, big love.
