Story

<p>To celebrate the fact that I have been working for The Bob Champion Cancer Trust for 20 years (I only came to pack some Christmas cards!), I thought it was about time that I set myself a challenge, rather than cajoling and coaxing others to do so!</p> <p>To this end, and in no small part due to the fact that I was slightly intoxicated at the time, I have decided to walk from London to my cottage in Hindon, Wiltshire. The direct route is 100 miles and would take me down the path of the M3/A303, however, I am taking the scenic route which will make it slightly longer and will cover approximately 140 miles.</p> <p>I leave Southfields on Saturday 21st April and intend to complete this challenge in a week and so will have to walk 20 miles a day. One of my dogs will come with me, but as conversation might be a little one-sided, I hope that I can persuade people to walk with me every day - I will be publishing the route and you're welcome to join me on any of the daily legs.</p> <p>Of course, my chosen charity is The Bob Champion Cancer Trust.</p> <p>It would be wonderful if you felt able to support me by making a donation.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
