Welcome to our Coast to Coast Walk blog

Please join us in sponsorship as we walk across England in support of the Yes to Life charity. We are a mother (Jo) and daughter(Imogen), partner David and friend Vidya. We will be taking out our walking boots and traversing the hilly terrain of the English Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, and North York Moors on the Wainwright Coast to Coast walk. This walk is being undertaken in loving memory of Bryony Daly who passed away from cancer in 2004 aged 23 yrs. Her death was a tragedy and Yes to Life was founded to provide much needed support and information to cancer sufferers who have a right to know what their options for alternative care are. We will set out on our epic journey on June 7th, 2010 and hopefully find ourselves on the opposite coast 2 weeks later. Please support us by sponsoring the miles we will walk, the blisters we will get, the rain we will endure and the falling into bed that we will do. As we count the miles, it will be great to know that each new mile brings a new pound, dollar or euro to such a worthy cause! Please click on the link below to learn more about the walk:

Only a few days to go..


This is me training hard.

If every day in the Lakes is as beautiful as this one then all the blisters will be worth it! Today I went shopping for band-aids, bandages and power bars.

It's a real luxury to have fourteen days of walking through beautiful English countryside with hours to contemplate. To be raising money for such a worthy cause at the same time is very rewarding. A big THANK YOU to everyone who has sponsored us so far -and if you haven't - WHY NOT?? -get to your computer now and go to www.justgiving.com/DalyC2CWalk and lay it down!
