100km finished today!

Had a great walk today from Brimscombe Port to Stratford Park with Amanda, Freddie, Sam, John, David, Gavin, Finn, Jerry, Michelle, Pip and Alex and 3 dogs! Lovely walking with great company, collected some money along the way. Great sense of achievement. Thank you for all the encouragement and support. 1679178509_127e11ee-c1f0-428d-88b7-db0568c6b76a.jpeg

83.4km achieved final push on 18th March please join me

Hello,

I am pleased to say that I have now got to 83.4km walked so I feel like I am on the home straight. My stupid leg keeps playing me up so I am being careful not to over do it so I can get to the end soon.

FINAL WALK will be on 18th March at 3pm from the Ship Inn Brimscombe to Stratford Park Ramps. That’s about 5.5km and will take around 1.5 hours. We will walk mainly on the canal path. It would be great to have company for that walk so please come along or just greet me at the end around 4.15 or so.

I have some great pledges from people who are making me wait until I have achieved before donating but Please don’t let that stop you - donate now! Every contribution helps and will be doubled by my employers Ecclesiastical who are part of the Benefact Group. 

Got to go - more walking to do!

The old Rush skatepark did so much more than just provide the fun and thrill of riding. The new one will be no different.

The belief that anyone can challenge themselves and achieve.

To many people walking 100KM (62.1 miles) would be - huh no probem. 

Well, I am overweight (by a lot!) and I spend too much time at my desk for a start. I HATE excerising. I actually started the challenge in the summer and walked 32km (which I am bagging for now incidentally) - and then I had an injury which meant I had to rest up. So finally, I am getting going once more. 

I don't plan to stop but let's get to the first 100km and then we will see where we go from there. Feel free to donate now though! (Please)

I just count walks which I measure with my watch as 'outdoor walk' if anyone wants to verify the data it is available just get in touch. These can be from about half a km and upwards but I have done some nice 5km ones. I am only walking though....

Wish me luck!

Oh and a big bonus - I work for Ecclesiastical - part of the Benefact Group and they will match whatever I raise making every £1 you donate worth £2!
