My story

 

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

We have now completed our walk - 84 miles in the pouring rain, wind and brilliant sun shine and have thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful Northumberland and Cumbrian scenery!!  It was a real adventure and extremely memorable.  If you want to find out about our funny stories and mishaps please log onto www.caroleandjenny.co.uk 

We chose Hadrian's Wall because it is 20 years since Carole's father passed away and as history was a passion of his, walking Hadrian's Wall felt like a fitting tribute to his memory. 

Our other aim was to walk in support of a very close friend who was battling cancer.  On Wednesday 18th June 2008 she lost her battle. She was a very loving and giving person with a real appetite for life. You will see that even though she was suffering, she was the first to sponsor us on this web page. 

This walk is even more imperative now that she is no longer with us.  We want to raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK, so that early detection and improved treatments will mean that others do not have to face what our friend and her family have gone through.  

We are very grateful to everyone who supported us and are thrilled that we surpassed our target.  Thank you for your generosity.
