Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I have signed up to the Hadrian's Wall Trekking Challenge on the 15th September. This is a 25 mile walk which includes camping out on the wall! 

I am raising money for Caring Matters Now which provides us with invaluable support as a family. The group activities have enabled Callum to meet other young people with the same type of birthmark as him and allows me to talk to other parents about my own worries.

Callum was born 17 years ago with a rare medical condition called Congenital Melanocytic Naevus Syndrome or CMN for short. The whole of Callum's right arm is covered with a birthmark and he has other much smaller marks dotted around his body.

This condition is very rare and affects around 1 in 20,000 babies. It is possible for there to be further complications such as brain damage, developmental delay and scoliosis as well as the possibility of cancerous tumours developing. Callum has already had two lumps removed from his arm.

This walk will raise money to enable this amazing charity to continue with its invaluable work and in turn continue to support us as a family.

So please consider donating and I will start walking.........
