I reach my target!


I can't believe it - i've reached my target of £10,000 and the money's still rolling in!  To anyone who is reading this and who has kindly donated to my walk,  a BIG thank you!  It is such a boost to me, my brother Charlie and my parents.  Right now, with my ankles slowly healing and only a month to go before i set off, it's just the sort of news i need to hear.  However, the legs are doing well and there is plenty of 'petrol in the tank'!  I just want to get on with it now and start ticking off miles (and, oh boy, there are a lot to tick off!)  There is so much to organise and time is flying by.  A huge thank you to my boyfriend Ben who is helping me get ready, planning the route and enduring endless training walks with me - and literally pushing me up the hills when i've run out of steam.  The other way i get up the steep bits when my legs are burning is thinking of my father and his courage - the best part of doing this walk is knowing that, in some small way, it will make a difference to him  and to all the other people who suffer from Lymphoma.  Roll on September....!
