My story

Simon Read and Stephen Wakeford from Deal Tri are running the Long Distance Walkers Assoc (LDWA) 'Games 100mile' on weekend of June 2-4th.

This challenge event of 101miles is a cross country, over night, self navigating one from the Olympic Park in East London to Windsor via North Downs in Kent and Surrey(10,000ft of hills!).

We aim to take around 28-30hrs depending if we fall asleep!

It will also be Simon's 100th Marathon!

We have a number of friends and family who have suffered from strokes so this great cause is something that means a lot to us.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

For more information on the event see the website http://www.ldwa.org.uk/2012Hundred
