Bradley Mills over the space of 3 years endured much during his treatment for this cancer, 14 rounds of Chemotherapy, High Dose Chemotherapy, Stem Cell Transplant, Radiotherapy, Reconstructive surgery to both legs, resulting in a below knee amputation of his right leg, all of this following his initial diagnosis in October 2006 of a tumour in his tibia and subsequent metastisis in his jaw in October of 2008and multiple tumours found in September 2009.

Bradley passed away on the 29th October 2009 peacefully with his family around him and was buried in our local church in Abbots Ripton.

Our promise to Bradley was to complete this walk and to do whatever we can to try and make sure that no other child has to endure this treatment, lose or limb or worse, lose a life.

Our friends and family have been hugely supportive and are all willing to take part is this trek whether through the physical walk itself, help with the fundraising and with our training.

Above are photo's of our team, training is going very well, and we are all really looking forward to heading north on the 1st May.

You can also keep up with our training on Facebook page - Skeleton Trek
and sponsor us with a kind donation at www.justgiving.com/skeletontrek

Many many thanks to all those who have donated, either financially or with time and effort in the organisation of this trek.

We shall be using this page to update daily while we are away of our progress and antics i'm sure.

See you all on here in May - Skeleton Trek Team
