Myself & 2 other ruptured brain aneurysms survivors have nordic walked 102.5 miles, over 4 days, to raise money for the hospital that saved our lives! We have currently raised £9500

I feel blessed to have met such lovely people who I only got to know through healthunlocked, so thank you, this has changed my life and given me confidence to move forward!

Family and friends helped us so much every step of the way, being there with food and encouragement every 5/7 miles, love & hugs to everyone. Linda x

Well done you! It reminds me of when I went on the inca trail to macchu pichu, it was non-stop walking for 3 days with aches and pains, somehow I managed it, you don't know what you're capable of withstanding until you try it.
