Setting a bucket list challenge
In September 2024 I was planning on taking on a bucket list experience of walking the whole length of the Camino De Santiago across Northern Spain: a total of 484 miles in a month.
When I heard Social Bite’s 100 Mile Challenge was happening at the same time it was a total no-brainer to sign up and support Social Bite! I really admire Social Bite’s mission and how they support people experiencing homelessness in so many different ways, particularly that they support the full journey back into work and housing. Their coffee shops are such an important example of how giving basic kindness to people in tough times goes a huge way. It’s something we should all do a lot more of.
Simple Call to Action
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris nec libero eu purus pulvinar pulvinar ut a dolor. Sed posuere, tortor a pharetra maximus, elit risus pharetra lacus, vel suscipit leo magna et quam. Nulla at tortor ut enim vehicula venenatis. Phasellus euismod et purus dapibus eleifend. Vestibulum eu consectetur nibh, id sodales leo.
Unsurprisingly, walking 484 miles was really difficult – but it was undoubtedly the best experience of my life!
Clocking up the miles with memorable moments
Of course, there were difficult moments alongside the good. It’s safe to say I cried and laughed in equal measure.
I’ve created memories that will last a lifetime, with one day particularly sticking in my mind – when I found myself walking in a midst of hurricane. I had to change my walking shoes in a panic halfway through! That’s definitely not an everyday walking experience, but it’s something I’ll never forget.
Every step you take helps people who are homeless
Spreading the word about my challenge and why I was choosing to support Social Bite really helped me in my fundraising efforts. I shared my challenge on social media but also made sure to reach out to my friends and family directly to let them know I was supporting Social Bite.
Whilst completing my miles I also wore my Social Bite t-shirt. I had people stopping to ask me questions about Social Bite and donating as well, which was great!
I’m so happy I took part in the 100 Mile Challenge as part of completing the Camino De Santiago. For me, the best part was meeting some of the most incredible people who were all walking for different reasons. I built amazing friendships and got to share Social Bite’s story, too.
