My good friend Shannon James was diagnosed with CF at 4 weeks old and is now 23. I've seen her overcome various health challenges since we were in school but I won't ever quite understand what she's faced and dealt with. We've shared creative hobbies over the years but she used to say that she isn't someone who enjoys exercise, I wanted to change that. By combining her love of photography with a new interest in walking we've been training since February 2023 to hike a 20km route in Brecon including Pen Y Fan.

Shannon said, "doing great strides has been on my bucket list for quite some time now, it’s time to tick it off, let’s go!!" :)

Our friend Amelia is also joining us. I've roped Steven into it and it's on his birthday! I'll be sure to take some extra sweets to cheer him up when his feet are aching and we still have miles to go!
