My story

Over several years walking has become more painful due to a back problem but when I saw the walk 100 miles in May for Melanoma Focus and SKCIN I wanted to do it both as a challenge to myself but also to help the many people who live with melanoma every day especially my friend Kelly who despite coping with the uncertainty and living with several health issues she continues to exude positivity and helps many people along the way.

My updates

It has been tough as not only back hurts but knee and ankle too but any shortfall I am making up on my bike each week end.  Thanks to everyone who has sponsored me - it is much appreciated 💚

Image uploaded with update

Have found 3 miles a day quite tough - managing generally 1.5 miles with 3 miles twice a week.  I made up the downfall by riding my bike 14 miles and will continue in that vein.
