This October, Mia and her grandparents walked 39 miles around the beautiful coast of Guernsey with her grandparents! It was a full island loop, with fresh sea air, plenty of tea stops, and, most importantly, a powerful reason behind it. Together, they raised funds for five incredible Dorset-based charities that support causes close to their hearts.
For Mia’s grandparents, Guernsey isn’t just a stunning backdrop - it’s a place full of family milestones and memories. Taking on this challenge there made the walk especially meaningful.
There’s also history behind the journey. Nearly two decades ago, Mia’s nanny, Anne Clayton, helped lead a group from Guernsey to climb Kilimanjaro, raising awareness of ovarian cancer while working at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital. This coastal challenge felt like a way of carrying that legacy forward - just at sea level this time.
Mia’s grandad has always loved walking, exploring new places, and capturing photos along the way - making this challenge perfectly suited to him.
This walk contributed as part of Foray Motor Group’s 'Strive for 25' campaign - celebrating 25 years in business by raising £25,000 for charity. Her walk was a personal contribution to that goal.
Funds raised from the challenge will support five outstanding charities, all based in Dorset - the same community where the ferry from Guernsey docks. It’s a meaningful way of giving back to communities on both sides of the sea.
