My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been really inspired to help women affected by Obstetric Fistula, which is a completely preventable condition that affects about 2million women worldwide.

The causes are basically poverty and lack of education, so I feel that whatever money is raised could have a massive impact and change women's lives for the better.

I am walking the entire Dorset section of the Jurassic Coast in 2012, and I would like you to sponsor me!  I won't be doing it one go, I will be dividing it into chunks of about 10 miles and walking on my days off.

I would also like people to join me, even if it's just for one day!  I have a facebook page where I will be posting my plans for wach walk.  If you are interested let me know.

If you don't know anything about Obstetric Fistula then please watch these 3 films and I am sure you will agree that is a worthwhile cause.

Happy walking to you. That is no small undertaking; the views will be fine but the hills will be steep x
