John is a vital part of the logistics of the Reiki Ramble! He is my husband of almost 35 years and is one of the loveliest guys you could hope to meet. However he is definitely NOT a walker, he’s much happier playing his ‘cello or on a computer! So he has kindly agreed to […]

I’ll let Claire introduce herself! She has a special reason for wanting to be a part of the Reiki Ramble. Hi Everyone I’m Claire & going to be following Lois’s footsteps on the first day of The Reiki Ramble 4 Val. Along the miles I’ll be thinking of special times spent with my late friend […]

My former teaching colleague and long time friend Hazel is a great walker, and along with her husband has enjoyed many walking holidays throughout Europe. So she was a natural choice to invite on the walk and it’ll be lovely to have her company. She’s looking forward to helping Val to get home. Hazel doesn’t […]

Moody weather in beautiful Whitby for Easter Sunday. This is where we’ll be completing Day 1 of the Reiki Ramble on May 1st.

Another of Luci’s fantastic reels to illustrate some of our prep, and our inspiration.

So exciting that in just 4 weeks’ time we’ll be donning these to go out and begin our Reiki Ramble for Val at the beautiful Runswick Bay! We’ll be walking around 11 miles into Whitby and offering mini Reiki treatments in exchange for donations to Val’s fundraiser! If anyone would like to come for a […]

It’s important to try and practise on consecutive days, so after Luci and I did our 8 miles yesterday, my friend Judith who’s training for the 3 Peaks and I did 10 miles today on a circular route from Ilkley. We climbed through the bluebell woods, where the flowers are beginning to emerge ready for […]

I’ve had a few days doing a recce of the walk on our stunning North Yorkshire coast, one of my happy places! I feel so blessed to be able to do this for Val, and so grateful to the friends who are walking with me, and those who can’t but are still supporting our Reiki […]
