My trekking challenge starts in Badaling (outside Beijing) where I will trek along an unrenovated section of The Great Wall for approx 6 - 8 hours a day for 7 days.

I've really no idea what to expect and hope that my footwear is comfortable!  As I put one foot in front of the other along the wall I will be thinking of all the people I have loved and lost over the years to this dreadful disease.

Having worked at the Marsden as a volunteer for 16 years this is a charity that is very close to my heart. Every penny of any donation, however great or small, will go to the Royal Marsden to help them continue their fabulous work in the fight against cancer. 

A big thank you for taking the time to read this and an even bigger thank you should you choose to donate. Xx
