Amazingly it's five years since I last asked you all to sponsor me. That was for a short walk through Hamsterley Forest. Just a day walk but we still managed to raise over £700 for Macmillan.  Now we are walking much further, 130 miles of the Thames Footpath from Oxford to the Thames Barrier over the Easter holiday. It's a chance for us to raise some more money, so please dig deep and donate if you can.  We all know that it's a very good cause.

But it's also a chance to do something challenging to mark that important five years, remembering all the people who don't make it to that and celebrating the years to come. Follow our journey on our new blog (nickandjulisthamesfootpathwalk.blogspot.com)
