I think I would be hard pushed to find many people that dont know of someone, or have family or friends who have had cancer, or tragically lost their battle.

In life we all have our challenges to face and for those of you who know me, know my own personal battle with addiction. The last 4 years have shown me I have inner strength and determination to succeed in life. I feel honoured to be asked to take part in this incredible experience and to help raise funds for such an important worthwhile charity.

This trek is a huge undertaking for me personally and will require hard work and dedication to prepare.

19th January I will walk 100 miles over 5 days, taking in the beautiful sights of Marrakech, Sahara Desert and Atlas Mountains.

Any support to help me achieve this would be gratefully received.

£500 will go direct to the charity, and any extra raised will also go to the charity.

£1100 will be used to help me get there and all the cost associated with that.
