On the first anniversary of losing a loved friend, I will be walking a 24 mile trail across the Gower Peninsula to raise money for Marie Curie.

It is a huge effort, and I'm working hard to be fit for it.

Beat the Trails for Marie Curie and help people get the best care possible, to the end.

All the money raised will help Marie Curie provide vital care and support to people living with a terminal illness, and their families at the toughest time.

Please consider supporting me:

£3 helps fund a meal for a patient in one of our hospices.

£26 helps help fund an hour of bereavement support by phone or webchat.

£207 helps fund nine hours of overnight nursing care in a patient's home.
