He was a lifelong Pars fan who used to take me along to the games rain&nbsp;or shine when I was wee.&nbsp; He thought alot of Big Jim and I know he would be very proud of me doing this.&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>3) For the sense of achievement&nbsp;and giving me the chance to help local causes and also encourage me to get off my backside and get fit!</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>4) To walk with the best bunch of people you could meet and for the banter!</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>I'm not claiming I'm going to walk every mile given the problems I had feet wise last year and I'm off to Italy the day after the walk for a wedding but I'm going to do my bit!</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
