Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2016 i will be walking 500 miles, then 500 more and going to see the Proclaimers live in concert. My main target is to have walked at least 1000 miles before going to a Proclaimers concert but the more miles I clock up the better.

This will involve a number of events throughout the year, including walking round the Isle of Wight in one weekend, walking the Ridgeway (The wiltshire one, not the one in Newport!!!) across multiple weekends, The welsh three peaks in a day and anything else I can fit in (I may even attempt to take up jogging again, as i hear it is quite popular) culminating in attendance at a Proclaimers concert, or if they are not on tour a Proclaimers tribute, or if there are no Proclaimers tributes at the time, I will hold a Proclaimers themed charity party.

I am raising money for Arthrits Research UK, in memory of my Mum who passed away last year. She was a longtime sufferer of Rheumatoid Arthritis, which as well as having to live with the pain, made mobility and walking difficult at times, though she loved walking by the sea when she could.

Arthritis Research UK carries out research into all forms of Arthritis including Rheumatoid Arthritis and see their objectives as:

• Preventing the onset of arthritis
• Developing a cure for arthritis
• Transforming the lives of those affected by arthritis
