As most of you know, I feel so privileged to be able to support New Hope for Children and am very excited to be heading out to see their work in Colombia later on this year.

I would love to raise some much needed funds, as New Hope for Children are 100% donation funded, and have decided to walk the Hodder Way in order to do this.

The Hodder Way is a 27 mile walk along the River Hodder, going from north of Stocks Reservoir near Slaidburn, to where the Hodder meets the Ribble near Stoneyhurst College.  I am planning to complete the walk in one day, Saturday 13th July.  To add a bit of fun to the day, I am happy for people to sponsor me to wear silly items of clothing, such as fairy wings, a wig, a tutu, etc.  I won't be compromising on my walking boots, but will try and accommodate all other ideas.
