Just Walk 2009 - a HUGE challenge

We did it!!!

On 9 May 2009 Chris and I took part in the BIG 60k walk over the South Downs.  That's just over 37 miles in a day.  It really, really hurt, actually it still really hurts today (Monday).  We set out at 8.30 am and finished at 9.30 pm, taking 3 x 20 minute breaks.  That means we completed the walk in 12 hours, excluding breaks, so our average speed was 5k per hour - not bad over such a long distance.

For more details please see www.just-walk.co.uk

With your help, we aim to raise £1000 for our favourite charity, Cats Protection. www.cats.org.uk

"Cats Protection is the UK's leading feline welfare charity. Our vision is to ensure that every cat is given the chance of a life where it will be treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs.

Cats Protection has simple and clear objectives to help cats:

  • Homing -
    finding good homes for cats in need
  • Neutering -
    supporting and encouraging the neutering of cats
  • Information -
    improving people’s understanding of cats and their care"

A worthy cause indeed!  We'd be very grateful for any donation at all, everything helps.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Cats Protection 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 us now!
