Story
Me and my assistance dog Tinker, plus my mum, will complete 6,570 steps using my walker aid through each of the 5 hospital corridors I have or having received treatment from. I've had treatment for my conditions from 7 hospitals, but we can't fit them in 24hrs, will be too much for me.
All 5 hospitals are spread out over 400 miles drive, This walk is in support of the registered charity Muscle Help Foundation, which provides life-changing dream experiences for young people aged 8–28 living with muscular dystrophy.
I have recently become the youngest person to receive an MBE in the King’s Birthday Honours. I am passionate about using this recognition to continue raising awareness of muscle-wasting conditions and the many hospital visits that form part of daily life in managing my health.
The number 657 is significant, as Muscle Help Foundation aims to deliver 657 dream experiences. To support this, I will complete 6,570 steps in each of the five hospitals where I have been or am currently receiving treatment. Thats only £1 fir each step I take!
At times, mum will be helping by pushing me when I get tired.
I walk less distance the last year so rely heavily on my wheelchair for longer walks, but then this wouldn't be a big challenge, so my walker will be used.
