My story

Updated on Jun 6th 2012 at 7:38 AM from the JustGiving API

We finished the trek on the afternoon of Wednesday 30th May, 14 days after starting at Robin Hoods Bay, with sore feet and sunburn!

Starting day 5; over a quarter of the way there now. After enduring 50mph winds and horizontal rain I'm looking forward to some sunshine!

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm doing the Coast to Coast walk to raise money for The Royal Derby Neonatal Unit. My twin daughters were born at 28 weeks (3 months early), each weighing 2lb 10.5oz, and needed 84 days of hospital care before we could bring them home. Without the care and support of the doctors and nurses at Derby, our girls may not have turned out to be the lively little terrors that they are today!

My Dad and I will be walking and camping the 192 miles from the North Sea at Robin Hoods Bay to the Irish Sea at St Bees, which should take us 14 days. Hopefully there may be a number of watering holes on the way...
