Recently, my family and I have received a great deal of support from The Noah Jordan Foundation. This is because my son Leo has a very rare form of mitochondrial disease known as LBSL.

Inspired by this wonderful charity, my friend Carol and I have organised a ‘Northumberland Stomp’ – a 26 mile walk from Budle Bay to Alnmouth. We’ll be proudly wearing the charity’s ‘mitosaurus’ logo and thinking of Noah, our Leo and all the children affected by these devastating illnesses. We are delighted to be stomping alongside a team of family and friends, including Karen, Helen, Amelia, Lee, Rebecca, Cara, Michele and Tamsin.

Your donations are gratefully received.
