Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

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.

I will be walking from my brother's house in Pembroke, South Wales to my house in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, a distance of about 230 miles. I start my walk on Sunday 4th April (Easter Sunday) and intend to average just over 20 miles a day so that I arrive in Amersham after 11 days. My older brother has Parkinson's Disease and all of the money raised will go to the Parkinson's Disease Society.

I decided to do this after my mum died last September and felt that I needed to give something. So, in part, this walk is for my mother, but I have always felt that I would set myself a physical challenge at some point in my life and, with my 58th birthday looming, it felt like an achievable goal.

9th March - many thanks to all those who have already made donations, the comments are much appreciated and a positive motivation. Well on the way to £1000 and hopefully much more. Training is going ok but many miles to tread still.

29th March - many thanks to those of you who have made donations in the last 2-3 weeks and for the words of encouragement. Again, much appreciated. Training has been difficult during the week however weekends have been a little better with double figure miles being achieved. Training on the roads will finish on Wednesday coinciding with the end of term and allowing some rest before travelling to Pembroke on Saturday, ready for an early start on Sunday. Emma and I will be updating the website regularly during the walk so feel free to log on and find out how I'm doing.

2nd April - Heading down to Wales tomorrow after a relaxing 2 or 3 days. The nerves are beginning to kick in and to be honest we just want to get going now. Sunday looks like it will be sunny which will be a good way to start the walk but there are conflicting views about Monday's weather, hopefully it will stay fine. As long as its not too windy or cold then I think it will be ok!

3rd April - Many thanks to Pembroke Rugby Club who handed us a cheque for £500 this afternoon. This was fantastic news and has really made the £5000 target achievable.
