Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I need a challenge in my life and I also need a kick up the backside sometimes. Watching my wonderful husband die from the cruel disease that a brain tumour is, took the wind from me and the pain of losing him was and still is, at times, unbearable. 

When I saw that Marie Curie were organising this trek I was determined that I had to do this to give back something to an organisation that  helped me so much. 

Anthony never once complained during his last few weeks and was always smiling and cheerful. So I hope I can trek the Inca Trail with a smile and not too many moans.

please help me achieve my target.
