Nicola Hall, Finance Manager at 101 Websites & Apps, will be lacing up her walking boots this May as part of a 26.2-mile charity walk, along with walkers from other local firms, raising vital funds for Nelson’s Journey and Fight Bladder Cancer.
Nicola is joining a team from the popular Norwich gym at Wensum Valley Leisure Club, whose website design is handled by 101, to tackle the full marathon distance, following a scenic route from North Walsham along Weaver’s Way to Aylsham, then continuing along Marriott’s Way to Taverham. Around 50 people are expected to take part, with many opting for either the half or full marathon walk.
The walk aims to raise £10,000 for two charities close to the organiser’s heart. Nelson’s Journey supports bereaved children and young people in Norfolk, while Fight Bladder Cancer offers patient-led support and campaigns for greater awareness and improved treatment options.
The event is being organised by Jenny O’Dowd from E-Zee Insurance Solutions, whose personal connection to both charities has been the driving force behind the initiative. Jenny hopes this challenge will not only raise much-needed funds but also help bring more attention to these causes.
101 is proud to be one of the sponsors backing the walkers as they take on the challenge. Several other Norfolk-based businesses have also lent their support, demonstrating the strong community spirit behind this initiative.
Nicola said, “It’s a big challenge, but it’s for two incredible causes. We’re all hoping for kind weather and generous donations to help spur us on!”
