The Mission: Milngavie to Fort William

At the end of September, my guide dog Max and I attempted to tackle the 96-mile West Highland Way. Navigating this trek with sight loss, Type 1 Diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, and Chronic Kidney Disease was always going to be a challenge but, it was a flare up of gastroparesis that brought things to a halt. Unfortunately I was admitted to hospital and spent a couple of days in intensive care.

We will now be doing 100 km throughout October whilst I make a full recovery.

Max is my eyes and my partner in every step, proving that disability doesn’t mean a lack of ambition.
