Month: May 2020

This is my first foray into litter picking since Covid locked us in and killed off the #1PieceOfRubbish campaign. On this sad anniversary of the Manchester bombing I’m renewing my vow to pick up 22 pieces every week, to make Britain beautiful, in memory of Manchester’s beautiful 22. Come join me!

🎼These shoes were made for walking, so that’s just what they did🎵🎶 – for 2.6 km, for 26 days, for my #26challenge , for funding for Mahdlo Youth Zone, for the young people of Oldham! I hope you will help me to celebrate by making much needed donations to mahdloyz.org/support-us/donate. Thank you for your wonderful support throughout my journey. Right now I’m off to ‘pop a cork’🍾

22nd May, my 25th day of #26challenge. There are no words…..❤️

I wrote this 3 yrs ago & vowed to try to clean the streets of Manchester to create a beautiful memorial to the beautiful 22. During lockdown I’ve been unable to fulfil my promise to pick up 22 pieces of litter every week. Today I dedicate my 2.6km walk to their memory. ❤️

Day 24 & number 2.6 is back in training – UNDER RESTRICTION! – in case she gets a call from Pep Guardila! 🤣😂🤣 .

Please try to find 2,6 ,26 or even 260 new people to donate as little as £2.60 to mahdloyz.org/support-us/donate. 2🙏🙏 6🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 26🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Day 23 of #26challenge. Achieved another milestone today! Since 1st April I’ve walked this corridor 11,000 times, which equals 100km. Strictly speaking, should that be a kilometrestone? 🤣😂🤣 Please try to donate 2p per km to http://mahdloyz.org/support-us/donate. Every 2p helps!

Day 20 of 26: Followed local government guidelines & stayed away from the beach. The sea was a bit chilly, though! 🤣😂🤣 Mahdlo Youth Zone mahdloyz.org/support-us/donate

Day 19 and my 2.6 km walk was a bit slower today. Noticed the Golf Club is now open so ‘drove off’ for a ‘Four-Jack’. Might have played better if the ‘carpet’ hadn’t needed a good watering! 😂🤣😂http://mahdloyz.org/support-us/donate
