Last walk of the month of September, feeling thankful xx

Wednesday 1st Oct
I got to enjoy 2 lovely short walks to end the month of September, one in the morning and another in the evening on the way to class. Great time to think and even though things are happening that I cannot control, feeling overwhelmed and all sorts, i am thankful to still have the moments and cherish the memories that i can❤️🙏🏾❤️ So proud of how much I have achieved, despite many unseen setbacks. ❤️ But i have absolutely loved the fantastic support, from my fellow sole steppers, the lovely messages of encouragement from you guys, the calls, voice notes, meet ups and of course thank you for sponsoring me to help me raise money for Dementia UK. I really appreciate you ALL. Everything you have done, even if you think it's small, it has helped me so much each day to keep going, to push myself more, so thank you all once again for your amazing support 🙌🏾❤️🙏🏽🫶🏾🤗😘 Love and blessings always Xx Jojo xX #solesisterswalkinggroup #walk30milesinseptember #dementiauk #4myheart #walkingforhealth #walkingforfitness #familyiseverything #cherisheverymoment #love #wegotthis #yougothis

Tuesday 30th Sep
So happy we got to meet up with lil bro yesterday 29th September 2025. Had a great long walk around Battersea Park. The boys got to run about and play. Then walked a bit more going to visit family. Definitely got in quite a few miles, 8 miles to be precise 🤗 yayeeeee🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Looking forward to our next meet up and walk outside of this challenge. Its definitely been great getting everyone involved and walking together more. Absolutely loved it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful walk with some more of my beautiful sole stepping family yesterday

Saturday 27th Sep
Had a wonderful time out yesterday, walking with some more of my beautiful family.❤️🫶🏾🙏🏽🤗 I went up to Tooting Bec Common and met my big big bro, my handsome nephews and their beautiful grandma, whom I call aunty, to go for a lovely walk around the Common🤗 Really enjoyed walking and talking away with them, catching jokes as always, really made the time pass by nicely, didnt even realise how far around it we had walked. But we were out for a couple of hours, so got some great steps and miles in. We all enjoyed the walk, but aunty especially and is looking forward to the next one already yayeee🤗🤗🫶🏾🫶🏾😊😊 #goodvibesonly #family #walk30milesinseptember #4MyHeart #dementiauk #walkingforhealth #walkingforfitness #familyiseverything #love #cherisheverymoment #wegotthis #yougothis #solesisterswalkinggroup

Thank you so much❤️🙏🏾❤️ Another 30 miles passed....🙌🏾

Friday 26th Sep
Hi everyone, I hope you are all well🫶🏾🤗🙌🏾❤️

So I've  had quite the emotional week this week, well happens most weeks to be fair, but this week... the affects of everything that's been going on, have just been quite overwhelming. I've  also had some setbacks with my back and leg at times and some moments i thought i wouldn't be able to continue. But having been in worse situations before, where I've lost complete feeling on the left side of my body many times, for long periods over the years and literally not being able to walk, knowing the fight in myself it takes to get back walking properly, I know how important it is to keep moving🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️

So having to do this walk for such an important and worthy cause, has given me so much strength and determination to keep going, that i didn't even realise that I had not only passed my 2nd lot of 30 miles already, but smashed it🫣🤷🏾‍♀️🙌🏾🫶🏾🙏🏾 🤗 
Can't believe I've done 76 MILES SO FAR, I thought for sure it was so much less 🤦🏽‍♀️😅🤷🏾‍♀️
But yayeeeee so happy and proud🤗🤗🎉🎉🫶🏾
Not just proud of myself, but of all my boys for doing so great walking with me,  the youngest 2 for doing great without the buggy most times and enjoying walking as much as I do. 
My family and friends for doing  this with me too🫶🏾🙌🏾
But also my parents, for how wonderful they are and how they keep going in everything that they face. It's actually thanks to them for helping me with physio therapy and helping me get back  walking again, why i can do things like this now to help others. They are AWESOME and I'm grateful everyday for them   🤗🤗🫶🏾🫶🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I'm NOT done yet though, still going and excited for an EXTRA SPECIAL WALK TODAY 🤗💃🏾💛 and ANOTHER ONE on MONDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER, with some more beautiful members of my amazing sole stepping family 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 

Just like before, videos will be posted on my whatsapp status, my stories on insta and fb and my Sole Sisters Walking Group page on FB, plus will of course add pictures to the gallery on here for you to check out  too.🤗

Thanks so much again for your amazing support guys, it really does mean EVERYTHING🙌🏾🫶🏾🙏🏾❤️

Love and blessings always

10 miles done with big big bro Jeff on Saturday 13th September 🫶🏾🎉🙌🏾

Sunday 14th Sep
Such a fun day with Jeff and the boys today. Even though the weather was confused at times🤦🏽‍♀️😅🤷🏾‍♀️ we powered through from Blackheath Station, over the heath, through Greenwich park, to Cutty Sark, through the foot tunnel to Island gardens, to Canary Wharf and back round through South quay, Crossharbour, Mudchute through the park to the back of Island gardens DLR station. Then back through the foot tunnel to Greenwich Cutty Sark, then back through Greenwich park, walking up behind the back of the Royal observatory to the main entrance to the park. Then was the home stretch back to where we met up by Blackheath Station. So proud of us, especially the boys who may not have walked the whole way, (had the buggy on standby😅👌🏾) but they had fun and we completed 10 miles to add to my 2nd lot of 30 miles. So thats 43 miles in total now😍🎉👌🏾 THANKS JEFF🙌🏾🫶🏾👌🏾❤️ l think I just might reach 60miles by the end of September 🤗🤗🤗 who's walking with me next🤔🤷🏾‍♀️🤗 Thanks so much again for the amazing support guys, it means so much more than i can really put into words, but THANK YOU🙌🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾❤️ My apologies also for the late post, i was trying to see how to upload the vids we took on here, but I've been unable to post them sadly. 😫Thankfully I added to my whatsapp status, so some of you were able to follow there and I have sent them to Jeff also for those of you that know him. I will also be adding everything to my walking group page very soon, plus more pics to the gallery on here also, from yesterday's walk. 🙌🏾👌🏾🤗 Thank yooooouuuu all again, i appreciate you 🤗🙌🏾❤️🫶🏾 xx Jojo xx #solesisterswalkinggroup

Two Mothers. Two Queens - My reasons why❤️❤️

Saturday 6th Sep
Hi everyone, thanks for visiting my page.❤️ For those that don't know me, I am Jojo from Sole Sisters Walking Group. I have chosen to take part in the "Walk 30 miles in September" fundraiser, for Dementia UK - a cause very close to my heart 🙌🏾🤗🙏🏾❤️ **This picture. Two mothers. Two queens. My mum 🇬🇩(right). My sister-in-law’s mum🇯🇲(left). Walking side by side in Grenada. Both living with dementia. Both still moving forward.🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️ This image is more than a memory — it is a testimony.🙏🏾 It speaks of history carried in their bones.❤️🙌🏾❤️ It speaks of strength no illness can erase. It speaks of women who walked so we could run, who loved so we could rise. When dementia comes, it tries to steal. It takes moments. It blurs edges. It rewrites stories. But it cannot steal their essence. It cannot touch their laughter, their wisdom, their unshakable spirit. It cannot break the bond between mother and child. So I walk. I walk for my mum❤️ I walk for my aunty too ❤️ I walk for their courage🙌🏾 I walk for their fire. And I walk for every family who knows this same journey.🙌🏾❤️ Dementia changes lives. But together, we can change the story❤️🙌🏾❤️ Please stand with me, support if you can, donate if you are able, cheer me on/ join me if you see me🤗 I am truly grateful for whatever support you can give 🙌🏾❤️🙏🏾🤗 Every mile is a prayer. Every mile is a promise. Every mile declares: YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN!!! AND STILL THEY WALK. AND STILL WE RISE. **🙌🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️ Big thanks to my sister in-law for your help with this, your words, encouragement, your love, understanding, advice, support and faith in me to do this for them❤️ love you always🙏🏾🤗🫶🏾😘 Blessings and love to everyone xxxx Jojo #forthem #ourmamas #ourhearts #theoneswhogaveuslife #ourreasonswhy #solesisterswalkinggroup

Well done Josephine for supporting this worthy cause. Dementia sadly affects too many families, my own included, so the sooner progress is made on its treatment the better.
