I'm walking a marathon in July to support the valuable work done by PMRGCAuk.

They are the only UK charity dedicated to PMR and GCA. They provide information, support and reassurance to people with either of these conditions and help to raise awareness in the medical world and in the general population so that people can get a speedier diagnosis if they have either of the conditions.

Both conditions can be life changing. GCA is the leading medical cause of sudden onset blindness. Getting a prompt diagnosis and treatment is vital. With your help, they can achieve more and support more people.

I am recovering from GCA and have found exercise quite hard as one of the symptoms of the condition is extreme tiredness. My health is improving and I am going on holiday in July to Germany and The Netherlands where I hope to do a lot of walking and so will achieve the goal of 26.2 miles within a month.

Please help me achieve my target goal and help the charity raise some much needed funds.

I will be leaving on Friday and will post information about how well I am doing at achieving my marathon during the journey so long as i can work out the techonology.
