• Lands End in Southwestern England to John o'Groats in Northeasten Scotland unaided. It's going to be a toughie, but I believe I can do it. The first step of the 1000 mile + journey, 1st May 2016 - wish me luck!
  

• Breast Cancer has occurred twice in my immediate family. My daughter having had an earlier detection than my wife's, is doing very well!  It's this that convinced me to attempt this GUINNESS WORLD RECORD (1750km) and to spread this message; 'early detection through regular self checks saves lives'.
  

• Today there are cancer survivors everywhere!  The numbers could be even higher with Simple self checks! 

• This will be my second barefoot walk for cancer. The previous one was across South Africa for Cancervive.co.za. in 2014. 1700km

• We as ordinary people can't find a cure for cancer, but there are scientists that possibly could - and they need our help to do it!        
• My walk  is entirely unsupported. In order to lessen the weight on my feet I'll be pulling a small cart (rickshaw style), loaded with my camping gear and all supplies.                                                        
• For maximum visibility I'll be doing a roadside walk. Tarmac is very abrasive on human skin, so it's a fine line between building up a hard enough layer and the rate at which the skin wears away. The roughness of the surface will determine each day's distance. I hope the weather will be good to me.                                                                                                     
• As with my previous walk, I'll be posting daily to Facebook, telling of the days experiences, with photos and comments from the people I meet along the way, many of them will be cancer survivors! If you would be interested you can follow my journey on Facebook/Barefoot for cancer                                                                          
• Join me for a stretch. If you want to get in the spirit of things walk a short way with me, shod or barefoot.                                                    
• A 100% of all donations will go directly to CANCER RESEARCH UK.                                                                                                                      
• I will be very frugally financing my journey. Any accommodation or other services that could be sponsored along the way would be greatly appreciated and acknowledged . Please have a look at my website www.barefootforcancer.com
•                    Also: A  petition to the UK gov; https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/119760
