Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Some may say I’m bonkers for wanting to walk from John O’Groats to Lands End …. And they are probably right!

Many peoples first question is WHY??

Well…..Since I was in my early 30’s I have suffered with severe Arthritis in my Hips, Knees and Ankles as well as having Fibromyalgia and ME.

In 2022 I fell into a vicious downward spiral of being in too much pain to exercise, I was depressed and sat at home doing nothing!

I ballooned to a whopping size 32 and weighed just under 23 stone!

Life was bad!!!!

I was told by a hospital doctor that if I didn’t lose weight I’d be in a wheelchair within 3 Months and will probably not walk properly again!

This was a wake up call for me and since then have lost 6 stone.

I’ve dropped from a dress size 32 to a 18.

I have always dreamed of walking long distance and now I can (try) and do it!

Before I couldn’t walk more than 20 steps and now all being well I’m going to walk the length of the country!

The charity I am raising money for is the Cornwall Arthritus Trust.

Founded in 1976 they enable people like me suffering from arthritus and other musculoskeletal conditions to live their best life and ultimately conquer these conditions.

Please donate and help me raise as much money as I can for this wonderful charity
