Viki’s Journey: 200 Miles of Determination and Inspiration!

19th November 2025 by Kirsty Rose

October was nothing short of epic for Viki, who has officially completed her incredible challenge, “Viki’s Journey.” Over 31 days, she pushed her limits and raised awareness for YMCA Norfolk, covering an astonishing 200 miles—the approximate circumference of Norfolk—through a mix of walking, cycling, running, abseiling, and even zip-wiring.

Her adventure was packed with unforgettable moments:

  • Early starts: Many mornings began at 5:30am to fit in miles before work and counselling placements.
  • Thrill-seeking: Abseiling down The Forum and soaring on a zip wire.
  • Summit success: Conquering Snowdon—up and down!
  • New passions: Falling in love with road cycling on her new bike.
  • Mental health advocacy: Walking and talking on World Mental Health Day.
  • Meaningful visits: Exploring the National Memorial Arboretum and discovering the YMCA Memorial.
  • Personal growth: Reigniting her love for physical activity and adventure.

Although the challenge is complete, it’s not too late to support Viki’s efforts and the vital work of YMCA Norfolk. Every donation helps make a difference.

Let’s celebrate Viki’s achievement and keep the momentum going to support communities across Norfolk!
