As an Army wife, Lisa Mulvaney felt she needed something to keep her and her young son occupied during the six months her husband will be serving in Afghanistan.
But her idea for a little community event at Invicta Barracks in Maidstone turned into more than just something to pass the time.
Instead, more than 60 children and their families have said they would like to take part in her charity six-mile walk around the site.
Mrs Mulvaney has also roped in children’s favourite Peppa Pig to officially start proceedings.
The walk on Saturday, March 31, is in aid of the charity My Daddy Is A Soldier Adventures, which supports the families and children of Servicemen and women while they are away.
Mrs Mulvaney, who will be walking with her two-year-old son Casey-Jay, said: “It started out small but it has just snowballed.
“I wanted to raise money for the charity as they support children whose parents have gone to Afghanistan or are preparing to go."
Her husband Jamie is preparing for his first tour of duty. The walk around the barracks is only open to the families of Servicemen and women, but you can donate to the cause by visiting www.mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/invictapark
