Lisa’s story
I will be walking from Fort William to Aviemore in May this year. I'll be carrying everything I need for the week.... I will be backpacking and wild camping.
I have decided to do this to raise money for the Alzheimers Cafe on the Isle of Wight because I've seen the amazing work they do and support they provide. This can be life changing for the people involved. When a loved one has Alzheimers having a good support network is vital. The Alzheimers Cafe provides that. As well as regular meetings they have their new base at Parklands that provides a community cafe and wellbeing club amongst many other things.
To do this takes money and that is where I hope to help. Every penny you donate will go towards supporting them.
I'll post updates here and on my Instagram Page as I continue my training. I will have a satellite tracker during my walk and I'll post a link so you can follow my progress!
I will be travelling to Fort William by train - leaving Euston at 9pm on the 15th May..... I need to get to Aviemore on the 21st May to catch the train home! In between are the Highlands of Scotland, some of which is very remote with no mobile signal (or places to restock with food!!). I'll need to filter my own drinking water and make sure wherever I stop I leave no trace when I leave....
