Support my challenge to fight for a world without pancreatic cancer

This September, I'm walking 225km in memory of my mum. Right now, 31 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every day in the UK.

Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer in the UK. Too often diagnosis is a death sentence and more research is urgently required to diagnose much earlier.

If you are able to, please make a donation to support this very worthy cause.

Day 30 of challenge - LAST DAY!

Late final walk tonight as our Australian pals visited. Walk through Colinton, Bruntsfield and Merchiston. Very clammy. That’s challenge completed.

Up early to get the kms in. Up to the Q roundabout and then up to the bottom of North Quinta course. Got back before the sun got hot!

Allan’s birthday today so only a few kms today from Dos Passos to The Shack. Will pick up deficit over next couple of days. 

Day 15 of challenge

Long circuit around the Quinta estate starting with Avenue Ayrton Senna (Brazilian Racing Driver who lived here) via The Shack. Walk a challenge today as weather hit high 80’s. Ended up with heat stroke and swollen hands! However, another day done and 1/2 way there in number of days done and 50% of kms achieved. 

Day 14 of Challenge

As a result of no kms on Day 13, bigger day today. Walked to Pinheiros Altos and then a walk along the beach. Beautiful sunny day.
