<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>As some of you may know, I have nocturnal epilepsy, and as such I wanted to do something to contribute to the research of epilepsy. Not that much is actually known about it and I know when I had my first seizure I wanted answers - and there weren't any.</p>
<p>Please help me to help others with this condition, especially little children who can sometimes suffer many seizures every day.</p>
<p>I'm taking joker with me on the 21st of May, and hopefully we will take it steady and make the full 14 miles - he's a young dog and I'm unfit so we may not complete it quickly, but we should complete it!</p>

<p><strong>21st May - Progress Update!</strong></p>
<p>Well guys, thanks for your donations - I managed 10 miles of the 14 before having to give in with a hip problem and two bloody great blisters on the soles of each foot - my fault - not enough preparation I don't think.</p>
<p>I understand if you would like a refund, although I do plan to do the remaining 4 miles as soon as the blisters and my hip are better (not too long I hope).</p>
<p>I'm pleased I made it to double figures, and it was a beautiful walk - I met lots of nice walkers and their dogs, and overcame a fear of 480yrd pitch black tunnels that I didn't know I had!! My torch was rubbish and I felt all 'upside down' but I kept going!</p>
<p>By the time Doug collected me I could barely get down the steps to the car park and I had a little cry as I felt I'd let everyone down. But, on reflection, I've done bloomin' well and if it was easy, it would be pointless wouldn't it!! I will post again when I'm doing the last bit.</p>
<p>Thank you to everyone who donated. It really is kind of you and a great cause.</p>
