On 16th June I will begin a walk along the border of the county of Sussex in aid of the Meniere's Society. This will incorporate the inland Sussex Border Path and Sussex's coastal perimeter, a distance of approximately 260 miles, hopefully concluding on the 29th. I am walking in memory of my late Grandparents Paul and Pauline Hurdman, who passed away earlier this year after almost seven wonderful decades of marriage. They are both much missed by their five children and many, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Grandad lived out his entire life in Sussex, with Granny joining him in the early 1950s, and this walk will pass through places close to their hearts.

Meniere's Disease is a vestibular condition that affects approximately one in every thousand people in the United Kingdom. Meniere's can cause severe attacks of dizziness and nausea that can last for days on end, as well as fluctuating tinnitus and deafness over time. The condition is still relatively little known and with no known cure. The Society works to aid research and awareness of Meniere's and whatever you are able to donate will go directly to their vital work. Thank you so much for your support.
