Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. We (Prerana, Aly, Sue, Tina, Maxine and Wendy) are walking the West Highland Way in Scotland from May 2 to May 8 this year. The walk is a 96 mile stretch from Milngavie in Glasgow to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands- we are walking 84 of the 96 miles and will be starting at a place called Drymen; 12 miles in from Milngavie. We are doing this walk for a number of personal reasons. Some of us are doing it in memory of loved ones who have passed and some of us are doing it as a personal challenge. However, we also wanted to make it count for something............. <span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">We wanted to link our walk to fundraising for charities that have a personal meaning in our lives. The British Thyroid Foundation is a charity dedicated to supporting people with thyroid disorders and helping their families and people around them to understand the condition. The foundation is associated with the British Thyroid Association- a non-profit making Learned Society of professional clinical specialist doctors and scientists in the United Kingdom who manage patients with thyroid disease and/or are researching into the thyroid and its diseases in humans.  The Charity is currently working on ongoing projects concerning thyroid eye disease, thyroid cancer and the effects of thyroid disorders on pregnancy and children. <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">       Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
