Story

It has been over a year since my last challenge and that means another year has gone past without my sister Karen. Never a day goes by when I do not think about her especially how she would be the most fantastic Auntie feeding my kids with cultural overloads and naughty treats. Now I want to jog your memory as to the fantastic work that we are doing in her memory.


Our main focus is to build home from homes for leukaemia patients and their families. We currently have homes in Hammersmith and Oxford and in discussions with Birmingham and Cambridge to develop there. We also provide complimentary therapists for Haematology patients which in this climate is a well received luxury.


The KMMT ensures that as much as possible every single penny that is donated goes directly to the cause and that administration costs are kept to an absolute minimum. This means that anything you do donate makes a positive contribution to changing the lives of people who are facing one of the toughest challenges of their lives.


So what am I doing to deserve you parting of your hard earnt pounds?  In less than 2 months on August 13th - 15th I will be completing 25 miles in 2 days – as the people in the know say:


The Hadrian’s Wall trek is graded by Discover Adventure as ‘tough’. It will require good fitness and feature some demanding climbs and terrain. In general, the days will be around six/seven hours of walking with potentially challenging weather conditions”


So I have purchased my walking boots who are slowly beginning to understand what the ground feels like and know they have the responsibility to get me through the trek without a blister. Did I mention that we will be camping overnight directly on the ground?


By showing support you will give me the incentive to do my training and to make sure I lay my grubby paws of any naughties that would interfere with my serious preparations!


Love

Debby
