Over the last year as a family we have faced an incredibly traumatic journey which has changed our lives forever. To loose Suzi was a pain which I cannot describe. I can only imagine the pain that Jay (Suzi's Father) was feeling, masked the pain of his own illness for many months. To loose Jay too, to Pancreatic cancer, so quickly after Suzi has devastated us all.

Before we knew of Jay's illness we had decided that as a family, we were going to raise awareness and money for Neurosarcoidosis - the cruel disease that took Suzi from us. So far Suzi and Jays story has raised a staggering amount thanks to the generosity of the wonderful friends, family and colleagues that their beautiful souls touched throughout their young lives. Whatever we have raised is also doubled by the British Lung Foundation, which will help so many lives through research and development of the Charity.

I am about to embark on my own journey from the 7th August 2021, which is a personal pilgrimage walking 500 miles on the way of St James' - The Camino. I will be walking alone over the next 33 days or so. I discovered knowledge of the Camino during one of the many worse days of Suzi's illness and felt it became a distraction and comfort during those dark days, a 'calling' if you like.

Although this is a personal journey that I am undertaking, I hope it can continue to raise awareness and vital funds that SarcoidosisUk needs to help find a cure for Neurosarcoidosis. It would be incredible to reach £ 20,000 which will make such a huge difference to Sarcoidosis Uk.

Thank you all for your continued love and support, you are all so appreciated - wish me luck!
