The SWINK Charity Trek 2008 Suzie Walks in the North with Keats

Welcome to my blog. I will be keeping this page up to date with developments as I work towards my target to raise £5000 shared between the Lymphoedema Support Network and St Margaret's Somerset Hospice.

Its done! Now I want to start it all over again!

Well after 4 visits to the lakes my walk is completed, all 105 miles of it (approx.) I have raised more than £3000, have spent time in a place I love reading poems and letters of the inspirational John Keats and have got quite a bit fitter than I was when I started. I definately want to go up there again - NOW! Unfortunately the 'credit crunch' or whatever we should refer to it as means we can't afford it so I am looking at all my photos and thinking about making a video of them to put on the net just so I can reminisce.

I have had an account of my trip published in Able magazine and will now write a piece for the Lymphoedema Supoort network magazine and any others that are interested. I really did manage to raise awareness of lymphoedema amongst a number of my sponsors and I would like a new challenge so I can continue to do just that.

If anyone would like me to write a piece for publication or would like to know more about lymphoedema just get in touch!!
