BBQ to Blisters: The story of our 45 mile walk in 2 days

At our recent family BBQ, and admittedly after a few G&Ts, we cousins decided to set ourselves a challenge to help raise funds for Cure CJD, a charity very close to our hearts.

CJD is responsible for 1 in 5000 deaths in the UK each year. Currently there is no treatment or cure.

But there is hope. After 20 years of dedicated research, £10 million is needed to take an experimental antibody treatment, PRN100, through a phase II clinical trial. This is a relatively small amount compared with the cost of comparable research, and could represent a huge step forward in the fight against CJD.

So, on 15th-16th May 2027, we're donning our walking boots and taking on a 45-mile in 2 days challenge from Hunstanton to Cromer along the Norfolk coast.

A brave few of us have completed marathons in the past but the majority of us won’t even run for a cake!

So a walking challenge it is. Jelly babies and Compeed and plenty of determination at the ready!

We're a bunch of cousins, united by family, friendship and shared determination to make a difference.

Every donation, however big or small, will help support vital research towards finding a treatment, and, ultimately a cure for CJD.

Thank you so much for your support!
