Just for a laugh I thought I'd take part in walk the Wight this year. It's an annual 26 mile trek across the spine Isle of Wight from Bembridge to Tennyson down (with many ups and downs on the way!!)in aid of the Earl Mountbatten Hospice here on the Island. BUT as I've got two toddlers it's a little difficult for me to get anywhere so instead I'm going to take part in the walk the flat Wight, an 8 mile walk along the site of the old railway line from Sandown to Newport. A breeze you may say, but unfortunately I will be taking along two toddlers and probably end up pushing them both in the pushchair making the 26 mile walk seem a doddle!!
The Earl Mountbatten Hospice is the only hospice on the Island and if you are lucky enough not to have had to come into contact with the work hospices do then you are blessed. But for the people that make use of their services they are vital. I have my own reasons for supporting them, and if you fancy helping me out with a small sponsorship donation I would be eternally grateful. Please visit my site at www.justgiving.com/donnanewnham for more details. And think of me on 17th May, trekking all that way with two grumpy toddlers and a probably even grumpier husband! But it is worth it.
