Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I agreed to participate in this 26 mile walk as a personal challenge in the year I turned 50. I wanted to try something new, test my physical and mental strength, and raise money for a very worthwhile cause.

Initially I thought its just a walk, albeit a long one, so how hard could that be? Having read up on what a marathon entails I have embarked on a training plan - sometimes a bit hit and miss - but nevertheless I have been out walking the streets of Hemel and beyond to increase my fitness and stamina. Hopefully it won't be in vain.

Another significant reason for my quest is that my close friend, Trudi, who is one of the team members, lost her dad to cancer a short while ago. Having seen first hand how cancer effects so many lives I really want to try to make a difference, no matter how small, in the fight against it. 

Please if you could donate any amount to support me I would be really grateful.
