🎼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🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Many thanks to @joncowap of BBC Radio York for interviewing me this morning approx 11.30. Gave a big shout-out for @mahdloyz at approx 11.35. Listen in on catch-up later today & for 30 days. Hear my dulcet tones 🤣😂🤣 on the link below:

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 21 of #26challenge. More and more ‘shoes were made for walking’! 54.6 km, 93,216 steps, 878 minutes, 14 hours 40 minutes, 21 days, 3 weeks…and only 5 more days to go! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️mahdloyz.org/support-us/donate

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

Day 18 of #26challenge to walk 2.6 km in less than 2×26 minutes every day for 26 days, raising funds for Mahdlo Youth Zone. Why? Because the young people of Oldham are WORTH IT! mahdloyz.org/ support-us/donate
