WE DID IT!

136 miles in total, but we enjoyed it other than the aching legs and blisters.

We would both like to thank everyone for their very generous donations.

In May this year my wife Jill and I are carrying out a long distance walk in memory of our lovely daughter Alex, who died in a car accident on 18th September 2007, aged 18.

We wanted to make sure Alex had not been forgotten and this would keep her name going and raise money for worthwhile charities.

The walk will start from our home in York to Bowness on Windermere, 125 miles over 9 days, comprising half the Ebor Way and all of the Dales Way.

We have been walking for many years, but have never undertaken any long distance walks.

Our "Back Up Team" will be Jill's Mum and Dad, Rita and Keith, who walked the Dales Way 11 years ago at around 70 years of age. They are staying overnight with us but doing small walks and taking our luggage to the next accommodation, and this would be their contribution. 

We have chosen two charities to raise funds for, Brake for their promotion of road safety and support they give to road victims and their families and the NSPCC as Alex was training to be a Teaching Assistant at Carr Infant School in York, a job that she loved.

We would be very grateful for any donation no matter how small.

Many thanks

John and Jill Pickering
