Next Saturday, more than twenty of my colleagues will be joining me to walk 50km in 12 hours in support of Charlotte's BAG. With the weather forecast looking very warm, it will certainly be a challenge.
I was recently diagnosed with mild arthritis in my knee, in addition to bursitis, which I've lived with for years without too many problems.
But compared with what Charlotte endured during her battle with brain cancer, it's nothing I can't manage.
Then, four weeks from today, Miles and I will begin an even bigger challenge: walking from Eastbourne to Winchester and back again 200 miles in 12 days.
Ten years ago, we completed the same walk to raise awareness of brain tumours. It was our first major challenge and took us sixteen days. Back then, Charlotte's BAG didn't exist.
This time, we're walking not only to raise awareness but also to help fund the research taking place in Charlotte's Lab at King's College London.
Every mile is for Charlotte.
Every step is for everyone affected by a brain tumour.
As always, Charlotte's BAG is entirely self-funded, meaning 100% of every donation goes directly to brain tumour research.
If you're able to support us, we would be incredibly grateful. If not, a simple RT would mean just as much.
Onwards and upwards.
With thanks
