As many of you now know, in October I'm going to trek the Great Wall Of China to raise money for Breast Cancer Care.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, with around 46,000 people diagnosed every year.

Breast Cancer Care is there for anyone affected by breast cancer. The charity brings people together, provides information and support, and campaigns for improved standards of care.

With both my Nanna May and Grandma Patricia suffering with this disease I could think of no better cause (ok, so my love of chinese food also helped!).

The trek involves six days of walking along the wall and through the countryside which surrounds it. The trek will take us off the beaten track and far away from the tourist trails. We will walk through remote isolated villages and farmlands, up a mountain, and along the oldest sections of the Great Wall of China.  We will also be walking up and down an awful lot of steps!

So please please please, help me to reach my target and make the aching legs worth it by sponsoring me now!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Many thanks for your support.
