Hello and a grateful sincere big thanks to you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I will be walking as far as I can with support of my trusty light weight purple stick (which I have fallen in love with, seriously!) 

Since my M.E. Diagnosis I struggle to walk any distance, I have to wear ankle and wrist supports, use a stick or crutches and have to rely on my blue badge when going out. 

This will be a challenge and my plan is to do the walk on my 47th Birthday, Tuesday 17th May 2016. My destination is the beach, I will start from my caravan in Filey and walk ~ rest ~ walk ~ rest, as I go bench to bench until I reach the sea (thankfully the benches are in plentiful supply and frequently placed along the route). Then after some time to rest, eat a picnic and watch the waves I plan to then reverse it until back at my caravan where I will collapse and chill out with everything crossed the post exertional malaise will be kind to me. Ultimately I would like to raise as many funds as possible into research to find the causes & treatments for M.E. because along with my daughters and other sufferers I seriously want my life back, I have plans I wish to fulfill at some point in the future as many of you do and hate having to be so limited right now *stamps foot*

Any donations, no matter how small are welcomed with open arms, if you can't afford it, then if you could then just share this page far and wide instead that would be hugely appreciated too.

SO, donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. 

You can also text donations via your mobile, just text the code: Tonk60 along with the donation amount for example £5, to the number 70070, and Bob's your Uncle you have donated to my just giving page and helped fund ongoing and future research projects.

Thank you for ready my story and for your support, you are awesome!
