Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to our Hadrian's Wall Walk for the Wallace & Gromit Appeal! It's not quite a distant memory - my feet still look battered - but I am overwhelmed with the generosity of friends. You are all amazing!

We did it! After 6 days and 84 miles of up and down, rain, wind and sun, blisters and squashed toes, we made it to the end of Hadrian's Wall Path at Bowness on Solway! It's taken me 2 days to recuperate enough to post this!

Many thanks to all who have donated to the wonderful Wallace & Gromit Grand Appeal in aid of Bristol Children's Hospital, through Team Lydia Justgiving.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm part of Team Lydia who will be walking the length of Hadrian's Wall in the north of England, about 80 miles this August.

We are raising money in memory of lovely little Lydia Rose, daughter of a choirmate of my friend Sue. Lydia was born with a rare heart defect. She died aged 4yrs in 2012. Lydia would be 18 years old this year and so we are doing a special series of events to raise fund for Bristol Children’s Hospital. We hope to raise an amazing amount to go with the £70,000 already raised since Lydia’s death. Every penny donated helps give poorly babies and children their best chance of life.

The most amazing group of 20 walkers are taking on the tough challenge of walking the length of Hadrian’s Wall and we would be so grateful to you for your donation to improve the lives of other poorly children.

Lydia’s legacy is one of hope and joy, she lived her short life with pure joy! 💚
