DAY 10

Here we go… Day 10! 🚶‍♀️❤️

The first 9 days of my 90 KM in September Challenge are officially in the books, and I’ve walked 36 KM so far!

Now, 36 KM might not sound like a huge feat to some people, but for me, it’s a huge start.

I live a pretty sedentary lifestyle. I work an office job, spend a lot of my day sitting, and somewhere along the way, being active became less and less of a priority. At roughly 3 KM a day, I’m actually almost doubling what had become my daily normal.

So what better way to challenge myself than by doing it for a cause that hits pretty close to home?

My why? ❤️

Heart attack and stroke run in my family. Since having my second daughter, I’ve also struggled with high blood pressure, and if I’m being completely honest, there have been times when I’ve thought, “Is a heart attack or stroke just inevitable for me?”

That’s a pretty scary thought.

But maybe this challenge is about changing that mindset, too.

I can’t control my family history, but I can make healthier choices. I can move more. I can take better care of myself. And I can make an effort to lower the risks that I can influence.

One walk at a time. One kilometre at a time. ❤️

And a HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated and supported me so far. We’ve already raised $800! 🥹

I genuinely appreciate every donation, share, message, and bit of encouragement. It means more than you know.

36 KM down. 54 KM to go.

And we still have 21 days left! 💪❤️

Let’s keep moving!
