My story

I'm Fintan "The Head Coach" and below are pictures of my team.

My team, Alison and Peter, did it!

The challenge I set them (it seemed like a good idea at the time) was to walk the 62 miles from London to Brighton, in 24 hours, in aid of the British Heart Foundation.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure -so please dig deep and donate now. We appreciate it! Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.

So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.Thanks for the sponsorship!

Training is underway, big time...10m, 17m and 26 mile walks all completed - the latter was tough! and still not quite half way...
