“The weather was kind to us and it was a great bunch of us walking - all affected by a brain tumour one way or another. That’s me exhausted but with a great sense of achievement.”

Ellen Yates said: “We can't thank Anoushka at The Brain Tumour Charity or Annabel at Eden Project for all their help and support with Diane and I.”
