Emily’s Guest Walker Interview
We had the absolutely pleasure of walking with Running for Rebecca towards the end of our challenge. Emily’s mum and sister both experienced Aortic Dissection, but in very different ways, and Emily has spent the last 12 months raising funds to aid Rebecca’s recovery and raising awareness for @aorticdissectct ❤️ drop Emily a follow @runningforrebecca to learn more! #aorticdissection #adct #teamaorta
It seemed fitting that we should spend our last 2 nights of this adventure staying at the @rnlicollege in Poole given that the RNLI has been one of the charities we have been supporting during our walk.
Wow, what an incredible facility filled with positivity and spirit from all the volunteers undergoing training. The memorial outside to all who have lost their lives trying to save others over the last 200 years is a fitting tribute and also a poignant reminder of the risks these volunteers take each time they answer a call. Thank you for allowing us a little insight.

Final day of walking about to commence. 623 official miles done, so just 7 to go. Feeling a little mixed, could be an emotional finish. Love the simplicity of just getting up and walking from A to B😊, met some brilliant people, had amazing conversations and great company in our guest walkers.

DAY 37: Brixham to Babacombe (15 miles)
A mainly urban path walk today from Brixham to Babacombe. We were delighted to be joined by friends Helen and Matt, along with the lovely Hector. The forecast was promising a storm, and didn’t disappoint and we had an afternoon of battling the wind, rain and sea! The latter attacking us over the sea wall at Torquay as we moved through. We were so wet by this stage, it didn’t really matter and was actually quite fun. Arriving in Babacombe was a relief albeit the slightly odd Anchorage hotel was not the best to be marooned into, but alas, we got warm and dry and enjoyed an early night! ❤️ links in bio as usual to learn more & donate! #southwestcoastalpath #aorticdissection #aorticdissectionsurvivor #walkinginmyshoes #depechemode #swcp #letsmoveit #teamaorta #hospitalityaction #rnli
A little update from us, four (and a bit) weeks in! Over 400 miles walked now, with the entirety of the Cornish coast covered, and just 2 weeks of our challenge left to go! We’re also thrilled to have raised over £3000 for @aorticdissectct !! If you’d like to donate but haven’t yet, we’re asking you to donate the cost of your usual pint to one of our chosen charities, given that it’s #caskaleweek2024 🍻 links in our bio and stories ❤️ #southwestcoastalpath #swcp #aorticdissection #aorticdissectionsurvivor #walkinginmyshoes #depechemode #letsmoveit #hospitalityaction #rnli #teamaorta
