Join Me in Honoring History and Shaping My Future: A Journey of Transformation
In October 2024, I'll embark on a monumental journey down the historic Normandy Beaches, but this isn't just any walk. It's a trek through history, a test of endurance, and a personal mission of transformation.
At the beginning of 2024, I found myself in the worst physical shape I have ever been, tipping the scales at 17 stone 6 pounds. But standing here today, I've shed over two stone, a journey fuelled by determination, discipline, and a desire for change.
My motivation? A dream. In October 2024, I'll exchange vows with the love of my life, and I've set a personal goal to be in the best shape of my life by that momentous day. This journey isn't just about shedding pounds; it's about reclaiming my health, my happiness, and my confidence.
Every step I take along the Normandy coastline is a testament to the sacrifices made by those who fought in World War II. It's a pilgrimage to honour their bravery and resilience, while also recognizing the struggles faced by soldiers and veterans today.
My ultimate challenge lies in trekking 100 km, a feat that symbolizes my commitment to pushing myself and embracing change. I've already made incredible progress, clocking in under 15 stone, a milestone I haven't seen in over a decade.
In April, I walked 37 km in a single day, 5 months ago I could barely do 5 km without being exhausted. This is evidence of the progress I've made and the determination that drives me forward. But this journey is far from over. With every training session, every weekend trek, I'm one step closer to my goal, both on the scale and in my heart.
I invite you to be a part of this journey with me. Your support not only fuels my determination but also contributes to the invaluable work of ABF The Soldiers' Charity. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of soldiers, veterans, and their families, providing the support and assistance they need when they need it most.
So please, join me in honouring the past, shaping the future, and supporting a cause close to my heart. Together, let's make every step count.
Thank you for your generosity and encouragement.
Chris
