It’s 18 months since I lost the love of my life aged 53.

Julia and I were together for 34 years until she passed in July 2023 from Breast Cancer. Julia was greatly helped by Breast Cancer Now charity which is why I have chosen to raise money for them.

We both read (and were inspired by) The Salt Path by Raynor Winn. It details a couple walking the 630 mile South West coastal path in difficult, testing circumstances. We would have loved to have done the walk together.

So I am aiming to complete the walk alone. I will be carrying my own gear and staying in a mixture of hostels and B&B’s.

The elevation gain on the walk is equivalent to climbing Everest 4 times so this is a real challenge.

If you can help by supporting me I would be very grateful and feel that every £ will help me on the toughest days.
