Supporter Katie-May walks from Colwyn Bay to Bangor for children’s charity Adoption Matters

SUPPORTER Katie-May Williams, age 24 from Conwy, wanted to do something to raise funds for local children’s charity and voluntary adoption agency, Adoption Matters so she set herself a very tough task.. to walk 21 miles from Colwyn Bay to Bangor in just one day.

On Saturday, October 1, Katie-May completed her amazing challenge, with the support of her friend Samantha Jones, walking 21 miles in just over seven hours. Katie-May said after achieving her goal: “I cannot believe it!! A lot of aches and pains but it is all worth it for such an amazing charity.

“Lucky enough for me I found my forever family at the age of three months old and will be forever grateful. Supporting a charity that is close to not only me but my family is something I have wanted to do for a while, and I wanted to raise enough money to make a difference to children and their new awaiting families”.

Katie-May smashed her £400 goal and has raised £515 so far with the donations still rolling in!

Adoption Matters Chief Executive Susy White commented: “We are so grateful to Katie-May for taking on this challenge which she kindly put together herself. The money she has raised really will make a difference in helping us support more children and families.  Thank you”
