Hello people,

During the last week of May 2016, me, my dad Michael and my brother Stephen will be walking the Ridgeway trail (Britain's oldest road) across Wiltshire.

The whole thing is a little over 90 miles in all, and we're hoping to get it done inside six days - with a couple of gruelling back-to-back 20-milers thrown in there for good measure.

Anyway, we've decided to use the occasion to help raise a bit of money for the Derbyshire Air Ambulance, who pretty much saved Dad's life after he suffered a large heart attack in the middle of nowhere while out walking a couple of years back.

Thankfully, it didn't take too long until he was back and healthy (in fact he's now probably the fittest member of the Ridgeway trek team), so as a humble attempt at giving something back, we decided to try and raise funds on their behalf. They do a fine, fine job.

Plus, Barclays bank have generously agreed to double our fund-raising total anywhere up to £1,000 - which is thoroughly nice of them.

Please donate if you can. Any and everything is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, 

Chris.
