Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to take up the amazing challenge to trek a 100km (62 mile) stretch of the Great Wall of China on 7th October 2011, in aid of the Alzheimer's Society. 

The Great Wall of China has to be one of the top 20 journeys of a lifetime and I've already started training hard for the 100km trek.  This will be the first time I have visited China or done anything quite as adventurous as this, so I am really excited about it all. :)
