My Journey and Charity Campaign for the Isle of Man Parish Walk for Arlo’s Adventure – 21st June 2025
Hi everyone, I'm John, and I’m about to embark on a personal challenge like no other—the Isle of Man Parish Walk. This is a huge step for me, as I’ve never attempted anything on this scale before. But there’s a reason why I’m taking on this challenge, and it’s all for an incredible cause: Arlo’s Adventure.
What is the Isle of Man Parish Walk? For those who aren’t familiar, the Isle of Man Parish Walk is one of the most grueling endurance events around. It’s a competitive road walk across the entire Isle of Man, covering a distance of 85 miles in all 17 parishes, in 24 hours, held on 21st June. And yes, you read that correctly—85 miles. That’s a lot of steps, and I’m not going to lie, the thought of it is daunting. But I’m ready to push myself to the limit and try to complete it. Over 1000 people entered in 2024 and only 128 finished!
Why Arlo Adventure? The charity has two strands, one is to support Manx residents who require treatment in hospital in the UK, and their family members. The charity does this by meeting the costs of transport, accommodation and leisure activities for such family members to visit them during their stay in hospital. The other is to support bereaved families by the raising of awareness of the effects of the loss of a child or a pregnancy. They support the whole family but focus mostly on the siblings of the lost child and by providing emotional and practical support to such families.
Why am I doing this? You might wonder, why I'm taking on this difficult challenge. The truth is, I want to push myself beyond my comfort zone. I want to prove to myself that I can achieve something I never thought possible. But, even more importantly, I want to raise funds and awareness for Arlo’s Adventure. It’s a chance for me to give back while also challenging my limits. This isn’t just about me—it’s about all the kids who will benefit from the work Arlo’s Adventure does. With every mile I walk, I’ll be thinking of how I can help make a difference in their lives.
How You Can Help I can’t do this alone. Your support will make a world of difference, not just to me, but to the kids who need it most. I’m asking for your sponsorship and encouragement as I take on this daunting walk. Every little bit helps, and even if you can’t donate, just spreading the word about the charity or cheering me on will keep me going.

I’ll be sharing updates on my progress leading up to the walk. Thank you so much for your support. Let’s make this walk for a cause worth every step!
