In May we are going to walk around 280km from Porto in Portugal to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. A famous pilgrimage of many paths known as the Camino de Santiago.

We plan to walk for 13 days on the Camino Portugues route with a couple of rest days added on top. It is a journey we have wanted to do for many years having heard inspiring stories from others who have done the Camino.

We lost our Mother / Mother in Law, Millie recently and want to dedicate this walk to her. We have chosen Cancer Research UK as a charity as it does a great job to fight against a disease that has affected us all, both directly and indirectly.

We would really appreciate your donation, no matter how small. We are completely self-funding our walk so every penny will go directly to the charity.

The Portuguese Way is one of many ancient pilgrim routes stretching across Europe and coming together at the tomb of St. James (Santiago in Spanish) in Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Update - We arrived in Santiago de Compostela on 21 May. Thank you all so much for your support and kind donations to Cancer Research UK
