Tom and I adopted our little chaos gremlin Ness in June and she's quickly become one of the family. Ness strongly believes there is no such thing as too many walks, so we're taking part in the 100km dog walking challenge this October for Marie Curie. She has no idea this is for an amazing cause, and just thinks this is going to be the best month ever.

Marie Curie provides vital care and support to people living with terminal illness, and to their families. They help people get the care, comfort and dignity they need at an incredibly difficult time. If you can spare a few pounds to sponsor us, we'd be hugely grateful. Every donation will help Marie Curie continue to be there for people when they need it most.

100km, 8 little legs and hopefully not too much rain! Wish us luck!

Update 11 October: 49km down!
