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 close to our hearts.

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

However, after 20 years of dedicated research, £10 million is needed to take an experimental antibody treatment, PRN100, through a phase II clinical trial, which is a fraction of the cost of comparable research.

So, on 15th-16th May 2027, we will walk 45 miles in 2 days from Hunstanton to Cromer, Norfolk.

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

So a walking challenge has been set. Jelly babies and Compeed at the ready!

The money we raise will support research towards a cure for CJD.

Any donations are gratefully received
