Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I might be very unusual, as I haven't been directly affected by anyone having died from Cancer, but why wait until then?  My motivation is to help find a cure for this disease, before anyone close to me is diagnosed with this disease.

Having done the 5k  "Race for Life" in 2009, my friend Jenny Overington and I wanted something that was more fo a challenge for us and as we both need to shape up, we felt that walking 22 miles in 2 two days in the Cotswolds would be a challenge for both of us and provide wonderful scenery along the way.  Plus the training involved in the months prior to the walk would help us get into shape.

Today my training is going well, I have manged to incorporate at least 6 miles every day into my daily life, I walk to the station, I get off the train in London one stop early, therefore clocking up at least 2.5 miles before I even start my days work.  At weekends, I don't sit back either, I get up when I wake up and off for a 6-7 mile walk before I start my day, of course the area that I live in helps, as I am walking in the countryside and watching the animals and birds as I go, plus the amount of public footpaths and places that I have found that I would never have seen in a car is an added bonus.

So please dig deep and donate now, your help is much appricated.
