Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As a breast cancer patient who has survived, I am grateful. The Fountain Centre helped and cared for me. I have always wanted to support and fundraise for this wonderful centre. When I walked the Camino-The Way-the trek to Santiago Compostello, Rita was my inspiration. She taught me 'how to walk!' No-one thought Rita would suffer from motor-neuron! Her loving family and friends mourn the death of a wonderfully strong, generous woman RIP. 

Aged 70, I had decided that having climbed Machu Picchu and walked the Camino twice I would not trek again...however, how can I refuse to walk in my friend Rita's memory and raise funds for the Fountain Centre?! This time some of our group intend walking from  Santiago to Finisterre. Rita had planned to trek a complete route and finish looking out to the sea where St James is said to have landed.
