Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I am doing a 40km sponsored walk as part of The Cyrenians 40th Anniversary celebrations. This is, admittedly a strange way to celebrate because it is some years since I have walked more than a few&nbsp;miles in any one day&nbsp;and instead of walking the Great Wall of China, trecking to Machu Picchu or climbing&nbsp;Mount Kilimanjaro&nbsp;&nbsp;we will be walking&nbsp; through the urban sprawl of north Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle and North Tyneside.&nbsp; Our plan is to visit all of The Cyrenians 30 projects and in doing so raise money for a worthwhile charity that helps some of the most excluded and disadvantaged people in our society.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to The Cyrenians and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now. If you require a ten point fact sheet on why this is going to be&nbsp;a challenge for&nbsp;for me to complete, I'm happy to provide it&nbsp;- I'm not the superfit hero you think I am!</p>
