<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</p>
<p>I have always wanted to walk a long distance path but when I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2000 those dreams were put on hold.</p>
<p>On 1st March 2001 I started the Guaifenesin Protocol which has been reversing the effects of my Fibromyalgia and I am now at the stage when I can contemplate undertaking my dream of walking a long distance path, The Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, with my favourite walking partner, Pat. The walk is 186 miles over 12 days and it is a challenge because we shall be ascending and descending the equivalent of Mount Everest.</p>
<p>As well as celebrating the improvement in my health the walk will help to raise more funds for 'The Smiles Vision Project' which is also very dear to our hearts. The Vision Project has helped several hundred people over the past 8 years and more funds are needed to take the project onto the next stage.</p>
