Well its been a busy week and my to do list seems to be getting bigger!!
I would firstly like to say a very big thank you to everyone liking, sharing and supporting our walk. All your comments have been wonderfully encouraging and have really helped in so many ways. The willingness to share our face book page and info has been overwhelming. We feel very supported by you all. Going public for me is quite a big step, so thank you for helping me through this!!
We have just had all 5 days walking and accommodation confirmed yesterday. So I will post a rough outline of our plan that in the next day or so. So it is official..... The confirmed dates of WALK AWARE will be 9th -13th April 2013. This is exciting.
Now I am in the very early days of my treatment so I will have to be very careful about my limits. I plan to walk 10-15 minutes every hour and will use my wheelchair for the rest of the time. It is also likely that I may need to take the third day off. We are currently discussing this with my specialist and she will help me make a decision about this over the next week or so. If this is the case, Steve is more than keen to do this leg by himself and have me join him later that day - rested and ready to do the last two days. It will be hard for me to sit one day out but I know I must not do anything to cause me going backwards.
Now back to this week..... This week's focus will be on contacting the media, so emails and letters will be going out at a fast rate! I would like the opportunity to tell my story and of course let the public know about WALK AWARE
Well Thanks again everyone your support is very much appreciated :) keep sharing and supporting one another as it is those things that give us all hope and encouragement.
