From Miles:
Having spent 82 hours this month walking, 'tired' might be slightly underselling it. Our walk from Eastbourne and back was 220 miles in total.
We somehow managed to add another 20 miles on top of the planned 200 getting to and from the Downs and our accommodation, taking us well over 400,000 steps and more than 8000 metres of ascent and 8000 metres of descent.
It was a really tough challenge, and it was mentally demanding. Knowing that every evening we had to get up and do another day of around 18 miles in the heat was not always an easy thought.
Whenever things got really tough, we reminded ourselves that we had chosen to do this walk. Charlotte didn't get a choice when she was diagnosed with cancer. That thought helped put our blisters, sore knees, and aching feet into perspective. As did Charlotte's strength and stoicism in facing the gravest of diagnoses.
I want to say a huge personal and heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported us. Your kind words have meant so much they genuinely gave us encouragement and strength when we needed it. Thank you to all who have donated and shared. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and kindness. Your donations to the charity we founded in Charlotte's name will make a real difference.
£4,417 raised so far!
Every single penny will go directly to Charlotte's Lab to support vital brain tumour research.
All the costs associated with our 200 mile challenge including accommodation, meals and everything else along the way has been personally funded by us. This means 100% of your donations can go towards the research that matters so much to us.
There's still time to donate if you would like to support Charlotte's legacy and help us raise awareness of brain tumours.
Please RT with thanks.

#TodaysLunch Very late! Toasted blinis with boiled egg and homemade black olive tapenade (olives, anchovies, capers, garlic, lemon zest and juice, olive oil and red wine vinegar), garnished with basil from the garden. And a Coke Zero.
I would like to express my sadness of hearing the death of Brian Smith former Ireland international and London Irish DOR. My condolences to his family.
Last night I had the privilege of giving my painting of Glen Hansard to The Wren’s Nest in the Strawberry Beds, a place that felt like the perfect home for it.
I’ve put the story and details in the video.
A huge thank you to everyone who has followed, shared and supported my Glen Hansard painting. It has meant an awful lot to me. ❤️
My 13-year-old daughter with special needs drew this today.
She spent hours shading every little detail, and when she finished, she said, ‘Mom, do you think people will smile when they see it?’
So I’m posting it here hoping it brings someone a little joy today.
Would you hang this in your home? ❤️
Wow 😭 😭😭

What an evening this is turning out to be! 🇮🇪
💔Derrick Moore, 47, a beloved elementary school teacher and father of four from Loganville, Georgia, gave his life on August 7, 2026, to save a young girl he had never met.
While at Myrtle Beach, SC, he saw the child caught in a powerful rip current after lifeguards had gone off duty. Without hesitation, he ran into the water, pulled her to safety, and then was swept under himself. His body was recovered the next day.
He was known as “Coach” to his students at Rockbridge Elementary. Colleagues and family describe him as a man who always showed up with a smile and a heart ready to help.
He didn’t know the little girl.
He just knew she needed saving.
Rest in power, Derrick Moore.
True hero. Forever. 💔🇺🇸🫡
