I'm setting off from the front gates of Buckingham Palace in September and walking all the way to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh (420 miles) to raise money for the Lymphoma Research Fund (through the Nottingham University Hospitals Charity N.U.H.). I will be trying to update this blog as often as possible along the walk. If you would like to donate, please go to www.justgiving.co.uk/palacetopalace2010 Thank you!

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....!
