Thanks for taking the time to visit. Every day six families in the UK are told their loved one has been killed in a road crash.
I am doing this 26-mile trek in memory of one of my best friends for many years, Dean "Spillo" Spalding, who was tragically killed in one such crash in December 2010, aged just 27. I am planning to add a further two miles to the trek to make it 28 miles, marking the age he would have been this year.
I am looking to raise as much money as possible for Brake, a charity which provides expert and sensitive support to people whose lives have been devastated by a death or serious injury on the road. £500 seems a challenging but realistic target though I hope to raise more.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure, so please dig deep and donate all you can.
I know this 26-mile hike will represent a considerable challenge, given I often drive less than half a mile to work each day at the moment! And I hope this event will be a stepping-stone to further, bigger, challenges.
Thanks for visiting. Spillo, you'll never walk alone.
