Every Mile Matters
Did you know the UK coastline spans 11,000 miles? I
have taken up the challenge to walk 60 of these miles virtually over the next 28 days from 21st March
This may not seem much but after my retirement in July 2019
I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), this is a life limiting disease, it is a condition where the lungs become scarred and breathing becomes increasingly difficult.

On a good day I currently walk 1.2 miles, I aiming to challenge
myself and walk 2.2 miles a day. If the temperature is to low I cannot walk so I will have to make this up or walk around my lounge for a very long time.
There is no cure for IPF, every penny I raise will go towards vital work in research, education, campaigning and supporting patients.
