Who am I and what on earth am I doing?!
That’s a very good question!
The short answer is: I’m Jen Le Marinel and I have just walked 1,400 miles from Land’s End to John O’Groats for charity.
The longer answer is: Having worked in the corporate financial services world as an actuary for 8 years I decided it was time for a change. I had been building up the idea for my own business for a while and I decided that it was time to make it happen. But I couldn’t go straight into it without first fulfilling my long held dream of undertaking a massive personal challenge. The idea to walk from Land’s End to John O’Groats came while researching other potential long-ish hikes, and once the idea was in my head it resonated so much that the decision was made. And as they say, the rest is history! ! I hope you’ll enjoy reading about my adventure.
Of course it would be remiss of me not to mention my fundraising. I’m aiming to raise £12,000 for a number of charities supporting children and less able adults. More information about the charities I’m supporting, and details on how to sponsor me can be found here.
