A massive well done to Shirley, who completed the North Yorkshire Coast Ultra Challenge last Saturday to raise money for SWR Mind.
She set out to walk 50km, but after a slight wrong turn in Whitby and the finish line being a little further on, she ended up covering an incredible 53km. 👏
That meant around 12.5 hours of walking, over some much tougher and more uneven terrain than expected, and more than 80,000 steps in total.
Shirley has already raised an amazing £900, with donations still coming in. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported her.

Well done, Shirley — what an achievement! 💙
