To celebrate my 80th birthday, I have decided to set a personal challenge of walking 10 miles around my favourite island - Cumbrae. Millport is my favourite childhood place, and I will be walking with my memories beside me. I don’t care how long it takes, I’ll walk round it!

Having been recently diagnosed with osteoporosis then this is the charity I would like to raise money for - no presents, just a donation if you wish.

Few people in the UK really understand what osteoporosis is or even the extent of the impact it has on lives; those affected can lose self-confidence, reducing independence and making everyday activities a challenge.

The Royal Osteoporosis Society are supporting research to develop new medications and treatments – and are determined to find a cure.
