55 Mile Walk Ladybower Dam to Shardlow

Aim

To fundraise for Bottled Up Blokes and aim to reach my target of £100k raised in 10 years for charities and organisations.

Ian Butler and a few of his friends are fundraising for Bottled Up Blokes. 

Below is what Ian has said about the challenge and the reason he's doing it.

So... I set myself a challenge just a few years ago, so im trying to reach it before the end of the year! Please read...

If I don't give this a go I'll never know if it was possible, so I decided I'm going to take this on.

I'm going to undertake a 55 mile walk with a few friends to try and raise more money for Bottled Up Blokes! The challenge is to walk 55 miles on the Derwent Valley Heritage Way from Ladybower Dam to Shardlow over 2 days on the 14th and 15th November. Over the past few years I've raised or help raise £89,500 for various charities, which leaves me £10,500 short of 100k raised in 10 Years! Obviously this is a personal challenge which i'd love to complete by the end of the year. Look if I dont give it a go how will I know!

I'm incredibly proud of what I've done for charities already it's something that I love doing! I'd love it if my Community can get behind me. 

Please share as much as possible and send us words of encouragement! This will help spread the word. If you can donate anything we'd appreciate it no matter how small or big!
