Story

I did say I would do another Trek for Marie Curie - but never in a million years did I think that Graeme would be doing it with me!

Different challenges on this one - we have to camp for a start - a first for me! However I know I will meet more amazing and inspiring people on the trek who will all be taking part for their own reasons  - I can't tell you how much it makes you buck your ideas up when you are asking yourself " what on earth am I doing here?" and then someone shows you a photo of the loved one they are walking in memory of who was able to stay at home thanks only to the help of Marie Curie nurses - that is a real mental hard slap to make you stop thinking you can't do it so you just get on with it.  

Fundraising and training both start today.

Any donations very gratefully received but we will be arranging some fundraising events so watch this space.
