Oops, that's 11! But I missed a week last week so you deserve a bonus.

Your weekly cheeky reminder that I'm running/hiking 108 #MilesForRefugees this September to raise money for @BritishRedCross. If you have any spare pennies please pop some in the jar? https://twitter.com/LindaBxx/status/1300780297655549952?s=19

https://twitter.com/LindaBxx/status/1300780297655549952?s=19

That's it for this week! Hope it's useful. Sending luck & love, look after each other & stay safe.

If you enjoy #OpportunityTuesday please share to help reach folk who need it most. I started it to try to level the playing field a bit, every little helps
