Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am walking 100 kilometers, 62 miles, non stop because for me this challenge is a bit like life with a disabled child.  I am looking forward to the fun and the laughter. I will only be able to do it with loads of support from my lovely family and friends, and I know it will be very very hard and I will have to fight to keep going.  I don't know if I will get to the end but I will give it my best shot. (and I am quite stubborn.) 

This cause is so close to my heart because I know from personal experience what a phenomenal range of skills families in this situation have to have to deal with constant appointments, large amounts of paperwork, and constant fights to get the right services for their child.

Families have to fight for the right education, appropriate respite and the correct welfare support for their child.  At the same time they are caring for their child's daily needs, holding their relationship together and looking after and supporting other children in their family who are by default young carers.
Contact a Family provides advice, information and support to families who have children with a disability.
