Side to Side
St Davids to Lowestoft – 515 miles, 60 days, one million pennies.
After our JOGLE walk in 2019, we found there was still a huge lack of awareness about brain injuries – so we set ourselves a new challenge. With Zara still recovering from her own traumatic brain injury, and after two very tough years, it took a great team and our brilliant sponsors to make it happen. We walked from St Davids on the west Wales coast to Ness Point in Lowestoft, the most easterly point in Britain, stopping to give talks to neuro-physios, support groups and colleges along the way.
