Our personal message:

For several years I have been looking for a challenge that would truly test me to my limits (a bizarre mid life crisis perhaps) and flirted with several ideas most of which were just not practical.

Then in 2007 I had a double hernia operation and was given a recovery schedule that was largely based on running.  Now I would not say I had any special talent for running but I really enjoyed the training and saw positive results in my fitness pretty quickly.

At the same time a friend had just completed a 4 day walking holiday along Hadrian's wall and I asked her about how good it was. She said it was pleasant enough but with not enough beauty spots for 4 days of walking - but it would be great if you could see it all in a day. From this an idea was born. I asked several people if they were interested in joining me but they all thought I was mad and initially said 'no chance'. But now there are three of us...!
 
Whilst on a training run Nick said how many people he knows simply thought what we were attempting was impossible and so we decided we should let people put their money where their mouths were and do the run as a sponsored event.  Due to my family links to Kadzinuni I suggested that as very worthy cause and Nick agreed. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Friends Of Kadzinuni will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
