My story

 

HYKETHEDYKE

On May 11th 2009, itself an aniversary, but also marking leaving a career in shipping after 36 years, Gavin Smith, sets out to walk solo the 180 mile Offas Dyke footpath from South to North - http://www.offasdyke.demon.co.uk - to raise funds in aid of Addenbrookes Charitable Trust (ACT) 

Please give as generously as you can in these difficult times.     

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (ACT) gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!  Thanks for your support.     Gavin
