Oh Pink, I think you will have a fantastic time. Sometimes the thought of doing something seems huge but once you do it, it dosen't seem as bad. After the trip is over you will have some wonderful memories. I should know because I have been living in China for seven years now. If you want to know anything about this beautiful country, just ask, Karen.

hi diane,a group of our nurses did the walk in 2002,on behalf of great ormond street hospital...they all said it was awesome,and the scenery was magnificent. i was told that theres a KFC alongside the wall,which i never believed...but its true,as ive seen a pic of it lol. your bound to be nervous,thats a mixture of excitement,and adrenalin...but once on your way you will be fine. enjoy the experience...well done! bryan.

Diana I'm sure that as soon as you get going, your nerves will disappear. It's only human to be worried about the unknown. You're doing a wonderful thing, in memory of a wonderful person, so don't you forget how special you are for even attempting this. Take one day at a time; all will be well. Love Helen P.S. I've heard that surgical spirit is good for toughening up the skin on your feet!
