On September 26th 2014 I had surgery to remove a large brain tumour. It's taken a long time to feel better again and it seems fitting to mark the end of a tricky year with a walk to raise money for research into brain tumours.  Luke and Michael are walking too and they (hopefully) will keep me going and stop me from toppling over the city walls. Our target is modest; The Brain Tumour Charity asks participants to try and raise £100 each. Please help if you would like to. Go Team Shepherd.

STOP PRESS: we now have another team member, our good friend Peter Harris. Thanks to him for joining in, and thanks to everyone for your donations.
