<p>I am taking part in a sponsored walk of 6.5 miles along the north-east coast from Sunderland to South Shields on Sunday November 28th. There's approx. 50 of us doing the walk (so far...).</p> <p>The sponsored walk has been organised by my 16 year old niece, Claire Young (pictured) who on July 26 this year was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin's Lymphoma.</p> <p>Despite undergoing chemotherapy since then, Claire has enrolled and started college and attends when she feels well enough. However, she will also&nbsp;require radiotherapy when the chemo ends in the New Year.&nbsp;</p> <p>Claire&nbsp;<a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a><a></a>has organised this sponsored walk for Cancer Research UK along with a&nbsp;variety night at her local youth theatre&nbsp;which will&nbsp;raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust.&nbsp; You can read more about Claire from an article in the local paper, The Sunderland Echo, online at: <a href="http://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/local/inspiring_claire_helping_others_1_2779928">http://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/local/inspiring_claire_helping_others_1_2779928</a></p> <p>Please sponsor me, thanks very much indeed!</p> <p>Glenda Young</p>
