Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. So far I have raised £2030.99
On 12th March 2009 Peter Martin and I completed our 165 mile walk using canal paths from Lichfield to London to officially launch the Samuel Johnson Tercentenary. Our walk recreated Samuel Johnson and David Garrick's famous journey to London in 1737 where they both achieved fame.
We visited many schools on our journey and enjoyed sharing our experiences and talking about the lives of Johnson and Garrick with the pupils.
Visit the Tercentenary web site: http://www.johnson2009.org
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: National Literacy Trust 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!
