Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Myself and Jenny are taking part in this event in memory of our late stepfather, Thomas Carpenter who suffered from this terrible illness in the lead up to his recent death.

It is a family illness in reality and can cause untold heartbreak for the family they, the sufferers, have forgotten - if our walk can support any development of the treatments available or provide respite for the carers of those unfortunate sufferers, then we feel every step of the walk will have been worth the effort.

We are not seasoned hikers, far from it! My training started just weeks ago and my poor untrained little legs remind me of the enormous challenge ahead, every morning!!  26 miles seems an impossible goal - but we are determined, for Tom, to complete every step no matter the struggle!

We ask you to dig deep, give what you can for an extremely worthy cause and wish us well on our epic journey from Stonehenge to Avebury in September!
