Hi!

On the 20th September I'll be taking part in a charity Marathon Walk (26mi/42km) in the Surrey Hills. Not only will this be the longest walk I will have ever done by a considerable distance, the route also includes plenty of gruelling climbs for good measure. In fact, the total elevation covered is 892m, making it comparable to some of the highest peaks in England.

The walk is being done in aid of Action for A-T. Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T) is an inherited disorder that affects the nervous system, immune system, and other body systems. Founded in January 2012 by parents of a child diagnosed with A-T, Action for A-T understand what that feeling is like and is committed to making a difference to those affected by funding high quality medical research.

In the UK, research funding for A-T is extremely limited so Action for A-T was established to increase investment in A-T research and raise awareness of the condition.
