Hi everyone just want to share after having 2/3 of my right lung removed a year ago this week, myself and 3 daughters proudly walked the 15 mile wirral coastal walk yesterday to raise money for Our wonderful 'Roy Castle foundation' it was tough going and a few pain issues along the way but we got to the finish in 5 and half hours ! Never dreamt i would be able to do anything like this after my surgery, hope this gives a bit of hope and inspiration to everyone suffering from this terrible disease, Im feeling elated that ive done it and would do it all again !!

Well done that is quite an achievement and one that you might have considered impossible a year ago. The fundraising team here are delighted with the support shown at the Coastal Walk. Having people like yourself involved Julie, is so helpful as it means all those who take part understand how important their fundraising is to the charity.
Well done, hope you keep well and are enjoying your recovery from the very long walk,
best wishes
Lorraine

Thanks Lorraine, ive never done anything like it before, the atmosphere was great and I felt quite emotional at times but so glad I did it ! between the 4 of us we've raised more than £500 with more still being donated !
What a star, and what an achievement to do that so soon after your op, I hope you are not aching to much and you are putting your feet up this week, well done to your girls as well.
Thanks Rab, its a great feeling, never thought i could do it ! fortunatley there were no pubs on the route otherwise i may not have got to the finish, haha !
