We're really pleased to announce the new Walk and Talk that is taking place each Thursday in Penarth, Cardiff. It has got off to a flying start and that is largely thanks to the wonderful Georgie - the walk leader.

Walk+Talk, a simple concept but an important programme; it makes a difference to people’s lives.

It's done. I've done it, most importantly we've done it. What a year that was. Well… I'm not really sure where to begin. It was just over a year ago I think, every race I’d entered had been cancelled and I was frustrated and probably a little down.

On behalf of Matt and Lizzy, as well as The Allegr Foundation, we want to send a huge thank-you to EVERYONE who contributed so generously to this Campaign.

I was nervous at 05:29, we were heading out of the door and about to start. I’m always nervous before an endurance event, not because I don’t think I can complete it - the nerves come from the fact I know I can’t not complete it.

With just over a couple of weeks to go until the 100km run, in an effort to try and take my mind of the relentless suffering that will be involved I have been thinking more about the way to engage the children in their run and make it a more challenging and inspiring event for them.

There didn't seem to much option really? We were now all back at home as a family and apart from a plaster on Allegra's chest there was little physical reminder of what had just happened but I knew then that I was going to "do something" and try and make a difference to the endless stream of families that go through those doors to Paediatric Intensive Care.
