🎉 Help Me Turn 30 by Giving Back – One Step at a Time 🎉
Hi, I’m Emily-Jane (also known as Em-J) – a passionate hiker, a retained firefighter, and someone who loves a good challenge (especially on my birthday!). For my 30th in 2025, I’m taking on the biggest adventure of my life: walking the full 630 miles of the South West Coast Path – carrying everything I need on my back.
🌊 About the Challenge:The South West Coast Path is the UK’s longest National Trail, stretching from Minehead in Somerset to South Haven Point in Dorset, and winding through four stunning counties – Somerset, Devon, Cornwall, and Dorset. It’s not just long; it’s tough – the total elevation is the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest four times!
Why this trail? It holds a special place in my heart. I’ve loved the parts I’ve already walked (Newquay to Penzance was a dream), and Minehead brings back fond childhood memories. So when I was hiking the Cumbria Way for my 29th, this felt like the perfect next step to mark the big 3-0.
💛 Why I’m Doing This:Originally, this was just a personal milestone. But the more I talked about it, the more I realised it could mean something more. I want to use this journey to give back—to support causes that matter deeply to me and to make every mile count.
I’m fundraising for three incredible charities:
- The Fire Fighters Charity: As a retained firefighter, this one is close to home. They provide physical, emotional, and social support to fire service personnel and their families during difficult times.
- The Veterans Foundation: Through my full-time work, I’ve seen the life-changing impact of this charity. They support veterans, serving military members, and their families, especially those in hardship.
- The South West Coast Path Association: Since I’ll be spending so much time on the trail, I want to give back. This charity maintains and protects the path so more people can enjoy its beauty.
A Huge Thanks to My Sponsors:☕ TrueStart Coffee, who are keeping me going with their incredible coffee throughout this journey!💆♀️ Louise from LTJ Sports Massage Therapy who has sorted out my niggles and got me into Tip Top condition for the hike!🥘 Base Camp Food, who are keeping me fulled with some very tasty meals!
🌟 How You Can Help:Whether you can donate a little or a lot, every pound makes a difference. Your support will not only keep me going when the blisters hit, but more importantly, it’ll make a real impact on lives across the UK.
👉 Follow my journey on Instagram @emilyjaneharding, where I’ll be sharing updates, training hikes, behind-the-scenes stories, and (hopefully) stunning views from the trail.
Let’s make my 30th birthday unforgettable – for all the right reasons. 💛
