Greetings from Santiago. So on Saturday we completed our 75 mile walk to the Lighthouse at Fisterra, "The journey to the edge of the world". We have literally shed blood sweat and tears on this trip. My feet are blistered and I'm likely to lose some toenails along the way but what an inspirational trip and what a fantastic person Nina Barough is. Nina Barough is the founder of Walk the walk..The Walk the walk charity is a grant giving breast cancer charity and they provide facilities such as the Maggie's centre which have funded so much support to women and their families. I have felt privileged to take part I'm not a sporty person I have always been a little (or a lot) overweight but I can walk and I can walk up pills and we all did it with the support of each other. My initial target for fundraising was £750 I have raised £1,040 so far. If you'd like to give here is the link to my giving page below..

It's madness but off I go again. This time just an easy (lol) 26 mile overnight walk in London on 20th May. I'm walking with my daughter Jasmine. We have called our team "Happy Days" and hoped more of the family could be cajoled into coming along with us but no luck so far.
I didn't intend to ever do a sponsored walk for Walkthewalk again. I thought that last 77 mile one up and down those hills in Spainwas my swansong but Jasmine wanted to do this moonwalk and she wouldn't do it alone,. But I am fit enough to it and lucky to bevable to and most importantly Breast Cancer doesn't take a rest so why should I?
Here's the link to my funding page below. As I always say donations, large or small are very welcome. Honestly very small ones are just as welcome. You won't feel like you've broken the bank if you sponsor me the cost of a coffee or a pint. Xx

It's my last night's sleep before the walk tomorrow night.
I haven't trained nearly enough for this challenge
I am fat and and unfit.
It will be a miracle if I cross that 26.2 mile finish line.
Miracles do happen though.
Pray for me or sponsor me.
Thanks Steve for allowing me to post here.
It's the last time. I promise.

Good luck, Stella! I supported you, so I'm counting on you to walk the walk. Sounds like an ordeal, I certainly couldn't do it I don't think, but you've walked this far before. Sending good wishes and encouragement.

All done. So glad it's over. It was a gruelling almost 9 hour ordeal but still, very proud of our achievement..
It really is a most worthy cause.
Here we are with our medals.
We look knackered. We were!

UPDATE.
£360 raised by me. £765 raised between Jasmine and myself.
Very proud of our achievement.
Many thanks to those who have donated. It's very much appreciated. X
