Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page. I took on a huge physical, mental, emotional challenge:  5 weeks, 5kg pack, 500 miles.

I had a broken nose and 5 stitches in my forehead but The Camino was a wonderful experience. And no blisters!! It's an odd feeling now not walking long distances every day... Thanks for all of your support...😍

Hope you followed my progress on caminoadventure 2018@Tinasadventure.

I was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis nearly 20 years ago & have broken toes, fingers, ribs, clavicles, wrist & nose! Initially doctors didn't consider osteoporosis as I seemed active & slim but it can be genetic. Even with medicine, there is currently no way to regain lost bone density, although I try to halt its progress by exercise!

In UK, osteoporosis causes 500,000 low-trauma broken bones a year - 1 every minute! Another 6 mill have osteopenia, bone weakening.  Another 1 in 3 women over 50 years, suffer a wrist, ankle or hip fracture in their life. Fractures are painful & weaken patients’ quality of life - some even lead to death. They certainly result in putting many people in hospital.
