As some of you may be aware, my little sister, Caroline has incurable cancer. She first found a lump in March 2016 and has since spread. Having now been on chemo on and off since then she has had to give up her a job and has been in and out of hospital more times than I care to tell. The recovery from each chemo session (which can be six hours at a time) can last up to nearly two weeks, leaving her bed ridden and with a zero immune system. Regular scans will give hope one month and then bad news the next. There really is no end in sight.

So, I came up with the idea of trying to improve her quality of life, however long that may be, with a different type of hope. Caroline would love to marry her long term partner, Tom. They would love to go to Vegas and be married by Elvis, go to Thailand and spoil her granddaughter Livvie. With Caroline not being able to work and Tom having to take off time regularly to look after her, these things are but just a pipe dream.

Therefore, along with my big brother, Mike, we are planning to walk Hadrian's Wall to raise money for her to have the time of her life while she is still well enough to enjoy it. We will walk the the 86 mile wall between November 2nd and 6th (5 days). Caroline will be joining us, driving our stuff from location to location. This will also give us the wonderful chance to spend a whole week together, just the three of us, which we haven't done since before we were packed off to boarding school. Oh sorry, where did that come from?!!

Much as I understand the good work that charities do, this unfortunately will not now benefit Caroline. I really would prefer that any money that we raise, go directly to my sister. Mike is doing some separate fundraising for Breast Cancer Now, so we are also making sure that money goes towards further research to help all cancer patients.

Any donations that you feel you can give would be very gratefully received. Hopefully we can make Caroline have the last few years the happiest she can have.

Many Thanks
