In November I'll be walking to Machu Picchu in aid of Macmillan Cancer Relief, 5 days walking for an average of 7 hours a day to an altitude of 4,200m. I must be mad, but they say it's one of the things you should do before you die, or hit 50, whichever comes first!

I'm trying to train by tackling various walks around Oxfordshire, not exactly steep hills and altitude but hard enough for a couch potato like me.

I've paid for the costs of the trip myself, and I'd be really grateful if you'd help me to raise the total £2700 I need, by sponsoring me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Macmillan Cancer Relief will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thanks a lot and I'll try to update you on my training progress.

Love Tony
