When my friend told me about this challenge that she had signed up to do, it got me thinking.

Could I do it? Am I capable? It is a lot of money to raise, I will be 70 😬 , am I fit enough. All the usual thoughts.

But:

Firstly I would be raising money for a worth while charity, St John's Hospice.

Secondly I like a challenge.Trekking the Great Wall of China will certainly be a challenge.

Fundraising done and fitness training in place. I have actually joined a gym and have a personal trainer, without who I wouldn't know where to begin and would have given up after the first 5 minutes, and I have discovered I am enjoying the fitness training. So far all going to plan. The next few months will no doubt whizz by and before we know it September will be upon us.
