Story

Me and Sula started our Memory Walk on 17th March. When I signed up I was fit & healthy, but I have cancer in my spine, ribs & pelvis which has been stable for a couple of years. Sadly it spread to my spinal cord & I have a inoperable brain tumour which is active again. So I did the walk in my power wheelchair (Tina Turner 🎶simply the best 🎶) 

I had someone with me on each of the 5 stages we needed for the walk and navigated traffic, badly parked cars, potholes, tree roots, getting stuck in gravel, an attack of vertigo on a hill  and walls tha jumó out!!  Most of it was done in  gorgeous sunshine but we got caught in a light rainfall & hailstones yesterday.,It’s a big relief to have finished at 27+ miles, and we’re a whopping £3000 over our original goal!!! Emotional day today reading all the lovely messages of support & seeing the generosity of everyone who donated.I’ll keep the page open until 31st March. So might as well keep on walking & see if we can do another 13 miles 😊
