I am undertaking this challenge, and it is a BIG challenge, in order to give thanks for my health and recovery from this very debilitating condition and also to raise awareness and funds for Action for M.E, allowing them to continue to support those who are not able to participate and who are struggling every day with the basics.

I could not be happier to be undertaking this challenge with my very dear school friend Joanne Dean who was the motivation to sign up. We are planning to walk 58 miles from Corfe Castle, round to Swanage and then back along the coast path to Weymouth in one go!

Action for M.E. aim to end the ignorance, injustice and neglect experienced by children and adults with M.E. We're working to ensure children, young people, adults and families living with the illness are supported during this unprecedented time and beyond. Our dedicated team is here for anyone living with, or supporting someone with, M.E. of any age, anywhere in the UK.
