Happy August… how are you? Love to know…..
Wow… a week on and I’m so happy to say, I made it…. JUST!
Doing hard things challenges our mindset, fears, doubts and more…yet committing, with patience and trust, things unfold. I reset time and time again during the 100 miles, and somehow with the amazing support of so many, made it to the finish line.
Just before midnight on Sunday – 40hrs from starting….
All your donations have blown me away… honestly, I cannot thank YOU enough. We’ve raised WAY more than I expected, £1,700 – this will make a direct difference to people I know and care for, plus the charities on a wider basis – please forward this email to others who donated if you know them as I don’t have everyone’s address.
So far…we will be able to buy Louisa and Emma specific pieces of equipment to help their quality of life and mobility, the 2027 Raleigh International Bursaries places with kit and travel and overall donations to MacMillan, Parkinsons and Rider’s Minds. I feel so grateful to be able to do this because of all of YOU, THANK YOU.
It will take a while to recover the ankle from the cabbage field, and emotional depths, yet good food, music, stretching out and hugs, with patience all will be well.
There’s so much more I could share, do ask anything.
Yet for now, just THANK YOU, all, especially my Mum and Kevin who supported Susan and I all the way around, AMAZING.
I’m here to help you, no idea or hope is too small, or silly, too big or crazy.
Everything is valid and you matter, the simple life or the wild dream.

Turns out @ratracehq Castle to Castle 100miles is a wee bit of a challenge…
I can honestly say I used every tool I teach to reset time and time again…And somehow made it to the finish line, 3 months post surgery, and we’ve raised so much for Emma and early onset @parkinsonsuk , Louisa recovering from a coma and@macmillancancer & @raleighsouthafrica_ Bursaries – thank YOU. So much.
But the best bit… the people along the way. Anything in life we need support, even if it feels hard to ask. I cannot thank you enough for the messages, donations and those who showed up on route, the volunteers, crew and fellow racers.
The cabbage field at 1am was ninja and destroyed my ankle with 55 miles to go… I ate more skittles and chips than you can imagine! My school friend Hazel jumped on a train to walk, @simondas978 Buddy made it after breaking his pelvis, Susan smashed it for @strathcarronhospice , Kevin & my Mum were the best support, Jen gave me antihistamines, my brother Fred and family let me stay, the stranger I hugged when my water bottle burst, the volunteers I cried and laughed with, Henry the 11yr old, @r_wat and James my inspirations, Adam and Jordon who did the last 9 miles with me…We made it…
To Emma and Louisa…this is for you. Your strength, resilience, humour and courage is beyond words.
I took copies of my wee book, 52 ways to feel good @thehoundofhappiness in each drop bag and gave them out randomly which was the best. Somewhere I lost my big wooly hat which has been like a talisman or amusement to many.
Do you know what though, the most important thing in life is love. Giving and receiving love, knowing you are loved even when you doubt it. A quick call, message, a hug, time.With everyone I spoke to… it always came back to time and love.
So this August, lead with love…Find your joys, follow your passions, take risks, take time to pause, ask for help, be kind to others & yourself. For all we have is now, and now is your time.
Ask me anything, share your intentions for August & let’s go all in.
Big energised love & support, Coach Kim
