Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
For those who don't know me, I am a 37 year old Mum of 2. My husband and I have been fostering for nearly 5 years. In this time we have looked after 6 children. I was born with a dislocated hip, and since having my children this became more and more painful, until I was never without pain. In August 2008 I had my hip resurfaced, the operation was a total success. So after a year of thinking I would never be able to walk properly again, I wanted to do something amazing with my new lease of life. Walking the Great Wall of China is something I never thought I would be able to do, and raising money for The Fostering Network while walking is an opportunity of a lifetime. Please help me to help others.
Thank you to everyone who sponsored Jack and Alicia, they swam 1 mile in under an hour and raised £75!! We are so proud of them.
