🧡 Donation Motivation Markers

Hi FitBlitzers…

Here they are, my 12 “Donation Motivation Markers” so far (newest at the top). Each beautiful photo marks another section of the trail conquered, another reason to keep moving and another reminder of why this challenge matters. Every step, every photo, every marker has pushed me closer to the finish line and every donation keeps the fire burning! 🔥

As I walk the trail, the VoiceVista navigation app calls out each marker’s name in my ear as I approach and pass it, like a voice of encouragement guiding me onwards. Each marker has its own meaning and memory, and these photos are for you, so you can see exactly where each one is placed along the trail, and take in the beauty of where they’re found. Every marker has its own bit of scenery, its own atmosphere, its own quiet message of hope.

#12 “Dayle’s rest stop”…

Dayle (Tip of My Iceberg)…Your marker sits at the peaceful bench deep in the beautiful woods, a perfect place to pause, breathe and feel God’s presence. Every time the VoiceVista app calls out “Dayle’s Rest Stop” in my ear, I’ll be reminded of how you’re always building me up with your words of wisdom and faithful prayers. You bring rest and renewal to my spirit even as my legs are burning and want to give up! 🧡

#11 “karen’s Kaleidoscope”…

Karen…Your kindness and generosity brighten this journey more than words can say. Just like a kaleidoscope, your support brings shifting patterns of colour, light, and hope…A reminder that beauty can be found in every turn. Having you stand with me in this challenge makes each step brighter and full of encouragement. 🧡 

#10 “Debbie’s wordway”…

Debbie (Word-Pictures By DLink)…Your marker rests beside the pond, where its calm presence mirrors your prayerful heart. Every time VoiceVista calls “Debbie’s Wordway” in my ear, I’ll think of your faith, your friendship and your walk of support, as you take on your own 50K on 1st March 2026 (exactly the same day as my 50K) to support and stand in solidarity with me, in memory of my mum, who died of MS at 50. A beautiful act of love that brings peace and reflection to the trail. 🧡

#9 “linda’s redline rampage”…

Linda…Your marker sits on the steepest, most demanding part of the entire trail, the section where the legs burn, the heart pounds and there’s no room for coasting. It’s where I need to go full throttle and redline it all the way to the top! Every time the VoiceVista navigation app calls out “Linda’s Redline Rampage” in my ear… I’ll dig deep, think of your your strength, speed, and unstoppable spirit to power me up that climb. 🧡 

#8 “Anita’s apex assault”…

Anita, you truly are the step-walking queen, the best walker I’ve ever known. Your marker “Anita’s Apex Assault” says it all! We both walk with determination, drive and heart, and it’s an honour to have your name out there on the trail. Mark, thank you too for your support and encouragement, together you’ve powered this journey with real strength and spirit. Every step forward feels stronger knowing legends like you are walking beside me. 🧡 

#7 Harry & Susie’s Helter Skelter…

Harry & Susie…Your donation has cranked things up to 11..Now that’s amped me up! Together you’ve dropped a thunderous groove that takes this challenge to the next level. With your support, you haven’t just turned up the volume…You’ve unleashed the full stack (cranked to 11), driving me forward with serious riff-rocking excellence. You guys are legends…Thank you so much! 🧡

#6 Sheila’s Boulevard…

Thank you for standing with me…Together we’re making a real difference for those affected by MS. 🧡

#5 “Paul’s powersurge”…

Paul…Awww Bro…Your message got me right in the heart. Thank you so much, not just for the kind donation, but for those beautiful words. Honestly, being your big brother is one of the greatest honours of my life…And to hear that from you means more than I can say.

#2 “Sara’s spirit song”…

Sara’s stunning voice once soared over my guitar and my lovely Wife Sarah’s flute with worshipful melody. Sara & Steve’s support hits harder than a power chord…Lifting me through every twist and turn of this BIG challenge. ‘Sara’s Spirit Song’ isn’t just a marker…It’s a high-voltage anthem of encouragement, faith and the unstoppable reminder that we never walk alone. 🧡

Suzanne & Martin…Your support means the world to me, as this challenge is so close to my heart. To know I have your love, prayers, and encouragement behind me truly lifts me!

Thank you for standing with me and for helping bring hope to others affected by MS! 🧡
