Tom's Trans-Scotland Canoe Expedition · 30 May 2011

We are dedicated to improving the quality of life and chances of survival for young cancer patients aged 13-24. We fund and build specialist units in NHS hospitals and provide dedicated staff, bringing young people together so they can be treated by teenage cancer experts in the best place for them.

Story

<p>On the 30th of May, myself and a group of others will embark on an epic cross-country quest. We start in Inverness and canoe down the Caledonian Canal to Loch Ness, then through Loch Oich and Loch Lochy to Fort William. From there we will walk to Glasgow along the West Highland Way, then canoe to Edinburgh along the canals. It's an intense journey spanning about 215 miles in total and will take about 11 days.</p> <p><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 11.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">It's an intimidating chall</span><span style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">enge, and it's going to be extremely tough, but it's absolutely nothing compared to the hardships of a life affected by cancer.
