**********BRIEF UPDATE**************

I finished my walk at 9.00am Saturday 27th October 2007 having walked through the night due to an in coming storm. I will give a summary of the high points on my return down South.

May, I introduce myself I am Jason Chant's - Uncle George aka "Highlander

You can follow my prevous trip on

Trail Journals.com under the name of "Highlander" George Grant.

 
Many of us through our lives have journeys to make - mine is to walk 8400 miles through America and Canada a dream, an adventure 

I choose to do this (to walk the Rockies). I have achieved my first goal of 2,650 mls. back in 2005. Unfortunely on my return to the UK it was found I had cancer, so, the dream is on hold but the walking and challenges do not end there. Prior to my treatment commencing I walked the coastal trail around the south coast approx 400 miles just to pass time. This time I will head from home in Southampton to Lands End and then back up to my roots in Scotland, I intend to finsh in John O'Groats.

My sister has approached me to walk in aid of TCF as it has been a key to their survival through their enduring grief, after the death of their eldest son Jason, in whose memory, I now take up this challenge.

I choose my jounrey, I know and accept the pathways and the mountains I have to climb to achieve my dreams.                             Grief, however is one of life's journeys, we all must take, usually it can be taken within our daily strides, we will always falter at the loss of a partner, close friend or relative but it affects us all in different ways, some will need support and understanding.

TCF is for those who have to accept, cope with, find a resolve to the most unacceptable grief, that of saying farewell to your child, brother/sister or grandchild. Trying to learn a new life's journey without them, building memories to enable them, in time to resign themselves to this new life. It is and will be painful with many pitfalls, bereaved parents do not have the physical mountains that I will have on my pathway, through this walk.

I wish to bring support, empathy, friendship and compassion to as many folks, yet to join this unimaginable jounrney ~ that my sister and family now take. With your kind donations, TCF will be able to develop and be there for the newly bereaved - as my sister say's  "Tender Caring Folks" bringing hope to the bereaved
