hi everyone..as some as you know im doing the keswick to barrow on may 12th..just thought id tell you a little bit about it.. im doing a 40 mile walk across cumbria( this is getting 2 posh now lol).. i did it last year and it took me 12 hours..so im hoping to beat that score this year. Im doing it for lisa and brain tumour uk:) and i am going to raise as much money as i can. the keswick to barrow people say that i have to give it to a local charity..but im going to email them and ask if i can give it to brain tumour uk..it shoud be ok . kesiwck to barrow has been going for 40 years..its a good day out.. theres lots of support. i havnt done any trainig yet lol..but im going to start soon. i did the walk last year because i went the year before in the support car and it looked good. you dont have to finish all of it. then i decided to do it to support the charitys. so last year i did it and finished it( yey!! lol). this year im raising money for brain tumour uk, i want to raise as much money for it as i can. that is the charity i am supporting this year:). heres the link for the website if you need more information if you want to do it one year..or jsut want to look lol: www.keswick2barrow.co.uk/home.aspwww.myspace.com/braintumourukthanks xx

My legs are sore just reading this Sophie. You better get training, not too long to go now. Good luck to you and hopefully you will raise plenty of money.
