My story

Starting on 28th July I will be walking the Pilgrims' Way from Winchester Cathedral to Canterbury Cathedral. The route covers three counties and 146 miles, and I will be doing it without GPS, sat-nav, routefinder, or a map of any kind. It will take me about ten days, or longer if I get horribly lost. So: probably longer.

If you want to show me some encouragement in this act of great foolishness, then please sponsor me.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancerbackup will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. You'll find more information and updates on preparations and progress at my weblog. Many thanks for your support.
