After a long struggle with Alzheimer's my darling Mum died in April this year. She was a kind and loving woman, who would go out of her way to welcome people and make them feel special. She faced her disease with courage and dignity. We will remember her bravery and her stoicism, but mostly we will remember her kindness.

The Horsfall House Charity walk is a ten mile loop through the beautiful scenery surrounding Minchinhampton. This year I will be running 10 laps of the course totalling 100 miles, starting in the morning of Saturday the 8th of June, running through the night and finishing some at point on Sunday.

Any donation large or small would be greatly appreciated for this fantastic charity! It would also be amazing to see as many people as possible taking part in this beautiful walk!
