A personal story of how Vicki, in her late 40's from Midhurst, Sussex, found walking in nature around the South Downs gave her positive energy, a new self-confidence, inner strength and a stronger passion for walking. After overcoming the trauma of life changing surgery back in Feb 22, which left her relearning to walk over 9 months, she shares with you her emotional heart warming journey about how she fought her physical and mental demons, dealt with her diagnosis of health problems including EDS, and how she trained and completed 2 Ultra Marathons, a 800 mile Arctic Virtual Challenge and hundreds of training miles whilst raising money and awareness for charities the 14 months after her surgery.
