Hello,

Thank you for visiting my page and wanting to learn more about the cause I am walking for.

I am walking 20 miles in order to raise money for British Acoustic Neuroma Association (BANA), so that more people like Emma can receive information and support during their treatment of this rare brain tumour. As a friend, it felt important to be there on the day, to walk side by side for a while in quite support of such a strong person.

I do love walking and do the occasional 10 miles with a walking group. This walk will be a bit different for me as it will be less than 2 months after complex jaw surgery, using bone transplant from my hip to repair my jaw joint. I may not be able to speak for the whole route, but I want to be side by side my friend for this journey.

Wish us luck (with our sock choices)!

Rachel
