Hello!

Thought I'd mention something I'm doing later this year and try to muster a bit of support.

In September, my friend Victoria and I plan to walk coast to coast along Hadrian's wall. We are hoping to do this in four days. This is a massive challenge to us both as neither of us have done anything like it before! We will hopefully be walking an average of 21 miles per day, the walk is 84 miles long.

We are trying to raise as much money as possible for the charity Ovarian Cancer Action. This is a rather personal cause as two years ago, aged just 49, my mum was diagnosed with the disease, and given little or no chance of survival. However, I am thankful every day that it is two years on and she is still with us and still fighting. She is a complete inspiration to me and my family and we all pray that she will carry on fighting and be with us for a long, long time yet. You may be pleased to hear that she has started growing and eating her own organic produce since finding out she has cancer, as we all know there's nothing healthier than growing your own! She is also the inspiration behind my new found obsession with growing fruit and veg!

Ovarian Cancer Action aim to increase awareness of the symptoms of this disease, so women can be diagnosed earlier before it is too late. They also offer support and advice to sufferers and their families, and carry out inportant research with the aim of improving survival rates and treatments available.

I hope you will visit my justgiving site and have a read, and consider making a small donation to this cause. Any donation, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated. I would also appreciate any helpful advice from those who have done a similar walk!
