Today my Brother should have been celebrating his Birthday.

We devastatingly and suddenly said goodbye to him on 11th May this year.

Myself and my husband Mikey, are hiking the gruelling  Bright Angel Trail in the Grand Canyon, in his memory. 

On October 3rd we will be getting up bright and early, hiking from the South Rim, down to the Canyon floor. 9.3 miles down, 9.3 miles back up, with an elevation gain of 5006 ft ... its going to be a TOUGH 18.6 miles!!!!

We will carry JP's strength of spirit and courage every step of the way, spurring us on but we would be so very, very grateful for any donations however big or small. Even if you can only spare a motivational message, or share a memory you have with JP on this page,  every little helps to support Diabetes UK and keep JP's bright light alive. 

With so much love and gratitude,

The Nervous Hikers ...

Beth and Mike xx
