Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

The great wall of China stretches for more than 4,000 miles accross undulating terrain in the shadows of towering mountain ranges.

At nearer 50 than I ever thought possible, I think this would have challenged me years ago and yet I choose to do this for such a worthy cause. 

I am testing my endurance to the max by walking 80km of steep hills and steps over 5 days to raise money for people with muscle disease.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy affects my son Ryan, who is now 13. He was diagnosed when he was 4 and my wife Lisa was pregnant with Jack., who thankfully,  is unaffected.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Muscular Dystrophy Campaign 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!
