Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I tragically lost my son James, pictured in the middle of this family photo, on the 28th of August 2022. He was only 25. To commemorate his life on the 22nd July this year I am doing a trek called the Camino. This will entail many mid-summer days of walking over hilly, dusty terrain in searing hot temperatures in his memory. Ultimately, I will end up at the Santiago (St James) de Compostela Cathedral in northern Spain and light a candle in his memory. James was very, very special to me and my family and to the many people that knew him. I am trying to raise as much as possible through this walk to help Dentaid, who do wonderful work, provide more urgent dental treatment to those who need it across the UK. I hope you feel able to donate to this special situation and help fund a new clinic in his name..
