Hi guys! 👋

Life’s been busy lately with all the six-week holiday chaos! 😅

Emilia has worked so incredibly hard over the holidays, putting the miles in for her sponsored walk in aid of Friends of Woodbank. 💕🚶‍♀️

And we’re so proud to say that Emilia has officially completed her 50-mile challenge! 🎉👏🔥

She has put so much effort into reaching her target, and we couldn’t be prouder of her determination! ❤️

Here are a few snapshots of Emilia along the way! 📸🥰

If you’d still like to sponsor Emilia, it would mean so much to us and would really help support this fantastic cause. Every donation, no matter how big or small, is hugely appreciated. ❤️

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported Emilia, encouraged her and sponsored her along the way. It truly means the world to us! 🥰💕

50 miles — COMPLETED! 🏅🎉🚶‍♀️
