I am doing Alfred Wainright's famous Coast to Coast Walk, which starts at St Bees on the north-west coast, traverses the Lake District, Pennines, Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors and finishes at Robin Hood's Bay on the north-east coast. I am undertaking this walk alone in November 2016 and will not be using "sherpas" to ferry my baggage, nor paying for accommodation en route. I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in 2009 and lost my long-term job as an advocate for mental health in-patients. In 2010 I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of glaucoma and am now partially sighted.

None of the money donated will go towards my travelling expenses nor equipment. I have a bus pass for local bus routes and will use this to get to St Bees (I might pay for the train home out of my own pocket).
