Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Every year I think I'm done pushing my body to the limits, but no, it's that time of year again where I risk nerve damage and a complete meltdown!

This year I'm going to be tackling two challenges in aid of BrainsTrust, a charity who has been instrumental in providing support to two of my friends and colleagues as they have gone through their brain tumour journeys.

The first: I will be walking across 16 of the London Bridges, starting in Putney and working my way over to Tower Hamlets - that’s 25km of riverside stomping! If I can reach £500, I will also vow to complete it in full Wonder Woman costume!

The second: I will be left to my own devices in a Woodland in Kent for 24 hours with only the clothes on my back and whatever £10 can buy me for cooking, drinking, sleeping, shelter and cutting... No sleeping bag, no phone, just me, my very limited kit and the wilderness!

Every year at CSC, we have worked hard to help a charity that is so close to our hearts and have been responsible for roughly 33% of the fundraising needed to support patients within the South East receiving the care and support they need.

We want to keep this up and I know that any donation, big or small can be a real help to BrainsTrust and those who need their help.

Thank you for taking the time to read and for your lovely donations.

Lots of love,
