Story

This summer, I’m setting off on a seven-day solo hike along the full length of Offa’s Dyke — 177 miles from Sedbury Cliffs to Prestatyn, camping under the stars and walking with purpose.

It’s more than just a challenge. It’s a personal tribute to the incredible ECMO team at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital, whose life-saving care helped my family through one of its hardest chapters. The resilience they inspire has carried me across countless trails and challenges — and now, it fuels every step of this journey.

Last year, injury kept me from completing the route. This year, I’m back and more determined than ever. I’m walking to raise funds, awareness, and gratitude — and I’d love your support.

Your donation will help ensure the ECMO team can continue offering life-saving treatment to the most critically ill patients. Every pound raised will go directly to supporting their work, their technology, and their care.

If you’ve ever relied on hope… if you believe in the power of recovery… or if you simply want to fuel a pair of tired legs heading north along the Welsh border — please consider donating.

Let’s walk this one together.

Thank you for your support. 🙏
