Step by step Jordan desert trek 2020 · 24 October 2020

Our mission is to support and empower Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) patients, and Small Lymphocytic Leukaemia (SLL) patients, their families and supporters through education and access to reliable, relevant and current information. We are run by volunteers who have been affected by CLL

Story

The motivation behind this challenge is to raise money for this little known but invaluable charity which has been such a huge support to a very dear friend.  

In her own words ‘this charity blew away the cobwebs of fear and uncertainty and helped me digest and understand on so many levels what was happening to me’.  A dear friend who has faced many challenges but has embraced every one of them with a fortitude I can only aspire to. So for you and others who receive this life changing diagnosis... I’m walking across the Jordan Desert from the Dead sea to the ancient, hidden city of Petra, camping out under the star lit night.  I hope to raise £1000 so that this organisation can continue to support others who are diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.

This walk has already brought its share of challenges, trying to keep up training throughout a pandemic and being rescheduled twice.  It really looks like this will happen now in April 2022 so training in earnest has really ramped up.

Right off to the gym then! Wish me luck and please help me to raise £1000 for ‘CLLsupport.org.uk’.  It would mean the world to me to achieve this. Thank you 💕
