Day 4 WFA

Day 4 💚 – A Walk for Autism Three stints today and it turned into a full family day out 🫶 Mission of the day: find the River Thames source (eldest’s pick) ✅ then off to the zoo (youngest’s choice) 🐾 With all the travelling, my final walk ended up pretty late, so I could only top up where I could… but we still hit 25,000+ steps today 💪🏻 That brings the total to 105,000 steps 👣 (80,000 as of yesterday!) Halfway through now… and yeah, I know I’m a bit short on where I hoped to be — but I’m still showing up every single day for this cause 💚 Real talk: blisters on blisters, achy feet, sore knees… it’s starting to bite 😅 So if you’ve been watching and thinking about it — now’s the time 🙏 If you can, please consider donating 💚 Link’s in my bio, or comment “WALK” and I’ll send it over 👇 Let’s roll into Day 5 💪🏻 #WalkForAutism #AutismAwareness #KeepGoing #RealJourney https://www.walkforautism.co.uk/fundraisers/RuthFinch @Walk for Autism

Day 3

Day 3 – Walk for Autism 💚 A two-parter today 💪🏻 Started with a run/walk with my eldest — short and sweet as we had things to do, but every step counts! Snuck in a few more steps at home and at a birthday party… then it was back home and time for part two — a solo walk, with a mission 💪🏻 Knee supports on, butterflies in my hair, green sparkly makeup… I was ready to make every step count ✨ BUT… walking downhill is not my friend 😅 my knees were definitely feeling it 🫣 If anyone has tips for walking downhill without wrecking your knees, please drop them below — I’d really appreciate it 🙏🙏 My Fundraiser link is in my bio, or comment “WALK” and I’ll send it over 💚 Let’s roll into Day 4 💪🏻 #WalkForAutism #AutismAwareness #KeepGoing #RealJourney https://www.walkforautism.co.uk/fundraisers/RuthFinch @Walk for Autism

Day 2 walk it was a tough one

Friday 27th Mar
@ruthfinch2

Day 2 – Walk for Autism 💚 Today was a tough one. I had to fit all my steps into one big walk after family commitments kept me busy earlier… so I planned a long route and went for it. The rain came. I got soaked. But I kept going. At around 2.5 hours in, my knees started hurting again… but I really wanted to push through. By the 3-hour mark, it got darker… and the pain in my knees, back, and feet was getting hard to ignore. I’m not going to lie — I was struggling. I had to make the call to head home. I didn’t quite hit the goal I was aiming for today… but I gave it everything I had. And that counts. 🙏 Day 3, we go again 💚 #WalkForAutism #KeepGoing #AutismAwareness #RealJourney https://www.walkforautism.co.uk/fundraisers/RuthFinch @Walk for Autism

#CapCut Day 1 of Walking for Autism 💙 30,000 steps a day for 8 days = 240,000 steps… I’ll be going live for the first time—honestly, I’m nervous. But this means so much to me. As a parent of an autistic child, I understand the challenges families face every day.
