Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

Menkes is a little known condition that receives little or no funding for care or research . The condition is a fatal illness where the intestines are unable to absorb copper, depriving the brain and other tissues of this essential mineral. 

Ollie was born with Menkes and lived a short but beautiful life supported by his beautiful family 💙

I am walking The Malvern hills from End Hill in the North via the Worcestershire and Herefordshire Beacons to Chase End hill in the South and back again in one day. 

This is a total walk of approximately 20 miles with some 40 separate peaks to hopefully all be taken in at least once on the walk in one day. 

I am hoping to do this walk on either 13/07 or the 14/07 weather depending. Hopefully having one good day of weather that weekend.
