Story

I am joining the MajorAndysMarathon team for the last 2 weeks of  my husband Andy’s epic wheeling effort and doing my own marathon.  As part of my rehabilitation, having recently undergone 2 hip replacement operations, I am using the Walk Fit exercise programme to get moving again.  I cover 2 miles in my daily 30 minute Walk Fit session. so I will cover the 26 miles and 385 yards in 14 days.  I am doing this in memory of my brother, David, who spent 5 weeks with us on end-of-life care until he died on 21 March this year, just as the nation went into lockdown.  I will do half an hour of Walk Fit exercises each morning, covering 2 miles per day for 13 days ,starting on Sunday 24th May, and finish with a short session on Saturday 6th June to cover the final 385 yards.  I am raising money for Marie Curie, who provided the most wonderful care, by day and night throughout the final weeks of David’s life.  I want to help Marie
Curie to enable others whose loved ones need help with end of life care to receive the same top quality and loving care.
