About my blog
CLL is the acronym for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia. CLL is the most common cancer of the blood. However, unlike many other leukaemias, CLL is incurable. Innovative research is desperately needed to provide treatments which are more effective than the derivatives of chemical warfare agents currently in use. Research however costs money.
I am going to attempt to walk from John o'Groats in the north east of Scotland to Land's End in the south west of England. Hence the acronym JOGLE. I estimate the total distance covered will be slightly over 1000 miles. The purpose of my walk is to make more people aware of this insidious disease and to encourage them to sponsor me by donating to the research groups I am supporting.
On my walk, I hope to provide updates on my progress and photos of my trip – mobile coverage permitting.

How you can help
You can help maintain my morale by making a DONATION to Charity Giving. They will divide your donations equally between Leukaemia Research, which funds research into all leukaemias and related lymphomas in the UK and the Malghan Institute in New Zealand, which is undertaking research into a vaccine based treatment for CLL.
If you would like you can come and share a virtual day of the walk with me. Just make a small DONATION to charity giving and then contact my blog organizers at cllwalk (at) gmail.com with a photograph or avatar of whoever is to join me on the walk, with his or her name and any comments you would like added. You can also use this facility to remember a family member or friend who has passed away as a result of leukaemia or lymphoma. (Please allow for at least a 24 hour delay between your donation and the appearence of photographs.)
I would appreciate people joining me in person on the walk. If anyone from the UK walking or CLL communities would like to join me for part of a day or more it would be really helpful. Time passes much faster in good company. Contact my blog organizers at cllwalk (at) gmail.com for an accurate location, subject to me having adequate mobile reception.
1000 miles is a long way and your support, virtual or otherwise, will provide a much needed psychological boost. This walk is 3 to 4 times further than any walk I have previously attempted.
Please feel free to pass on the details of this site to anyone you think may be interested. The link is www.cancerwalker.com
