Kate's back after epic USA run

Dr Condon will be welcomed back to the dermatology department of the town's war memorial hospital by its staff and patients.

"I'm looking forward to getting home, though it has been a fantastic opportunity to be here and all the Americans have been so kind along our journey," she said.

She conquered the USA on foot in just over two months. She took the final steps of her 2,400 miles at Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles on Tuesday last week.

This ended the incredible run she had started in Chicago on May 5 when she set out on the start of Route 66 which ends in Olympic Boulevard in LA which Kate passed through on her way to the pier.

She was clapped across the finishing line, under a congratulations banner, by a random group of passers-by collected together by her support team.

Kate (52), of Charlton, undertook her journey of a lifetime to raise awareness of psoriasis and funds for research into the causes of the skin condition.

The only sore note of her time in the USA came soon after she had finished.

She was robbed of her cash and cards and had to spend time with the police and banks trying to sort out some emergency funds.
