Monday

Richard and Karen’s Mile a Day – from 22^nd February to 22^nd March

Karen said: “Twenty years ago I had Encephalitis I was critically ill, had seizures ended up in a coma and it affected my frontal lobe. I still suffer the consequences of it until this day but I’m a million miles better than I was back then. Walking one mile a day for a month, starting on World Encephalitis Day, may be a bit challenging, but I set myself a really hard fundraiser 10 years ago and managed to donate £3,290 to The Encephalitis Society. I was in much better health back then.  

With the unpredictability of my Fibromyalgia this might be really pushing myself but I’m determined to give it a go.”
