I am taking up the challenge of walking the Pennine Way (and maybe some waltzing along the way!) motivated to raise funds for a brilliant charitable cause. Choices for expectant mothers are sometimes challenging and more help is needed to provide different options to enhance their birth experiences that may not always be readily available.

The endurance and determination needed to complete this challenge are recognised but the benefits we hope to be derived from our efforts will motivate us to reach the finish across the border in Scotland.

A huge thank you in advance to those who wish to support us with any contributions however modest.
