| Katy Barley: fitness training and fundraising for Macmillan. Part of a local press article, Chester |
"Once I found out that I had secured my place on the Boots Kilimanjaro Hiking Challenge, I was SO EXCITED!
First of all I absolutely love anything to do with the outdoors and will take on any challenge, and secondly and more importantly, it is for a charity very close to my heart. Macmillan Cancer Support really do help those who suffer from cancer.
So far I have raised almost £1,000 through family and friends’ sponsorship, car boot sales and sponsored cycles. I recently completed 75km on an exercise bike in Boots Plas Coch, Wrexham. This is the store I currently work at, everyone has been so supportive! I also have two more sponsored cycles at local stores coming up in the next month, all organised by getting in touch with store managers and finding out when they are holding Macmillan events. Upcoming events also include a raffle that I am holding, and a cake sale at my university.
In terms of training, I am lucky enough to live only an hour from Snowdon, so have dragged my friends up there a couple of times! I have also got a trip planned up Ben Nevis at the end of June with my uncle. It is all very exciting!
I can’t wait to meet all the other members of Team Boots Kilimanjaro!"
...brilliant work Katy, and well done for getting some local press coverage too. See image above.
