I have chosen this ultra-marathon walk along the stunning Ridgeway National Trail to raise money for Sense in memory of our son, Ben.

Ben died 21 years ago at just four weeks old from congenital cytomegalovirus.  Had he lived he would have faced multiple disabilities and we would have relied heavily on the support of charities like Sense.

I love walking so this challenge seems a fitting way to remember Ben and to raise money and awareness for this amazing charity that works to make sure that no one, no matter how complex their disabilities, should be isolated, left out, or unable to fulfil their potential.

Their experts offer personalised support through their centres, holidays and short breaks, or in people’s own homes. They are there for everyone who needs them, for as long as they need them – providing early intervention for children, helping young people access education, and supporting the transition into adulthood and beyond.

Thank you for your support.
