My story

 

Hi!  I´m Gareth Thomas and I walked for three months, from Worcester cathedral, through England, France and Spain to Santiago de Compostela, from May to August 2008. 

Now I have achieved what I set out to do, please support my fundraising efforts for Whizz-Kidz (the working name of the Movement for Non-Mobile Children. Registered Charity No. 802872.)  The cause is a good one and the long long walk for those with mobility needs  reminded me - every day of this journey - how much I usually take the act of walking for granted.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure: Whizz-Kidz will receive your money quickly and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. Many thanks for your support.

Follow the blog http://whizz-kidz-pilgrim.blogspot.com

It is now my intention to keep the fundraising going for an extra month, as I have decided to cycle to Rome in September instead of flying there to begin my formation for the Catholic priesthood at the Pontifical Beda College. I shall post news about this on the blog.

Have followed you on the santiago forum with much interest Donation by omar504 28/09/08
