Following the success in 2013 of Michael Groom’s Thames Path Walk, the challenge is too tempting to go further and raise more money!  On 23^rd August 2014 the Managing Director of ZF Electronics will begin a walk of over 140 miles along the Grand Union Canal from Paddington to Gas Street Basin in Birmingham which is part of the 2000 mile towpath maintained by British Waterways. 

Michael will complete the course in under 5 days and is aiming to raise £3,500 for Keech Hospice in Luton, in memory of the colleagues who received care in recent years. 

Keech Hospice Care provides emotional and practical support for adults and children diagnosed with a life-limiting condition. Our aim is to help patients enjoy the highest quality of life, while also providing vital support for their family and friends.

We are one of only a handful of UK organisations offering adult and children's services on the same site. Our adult service provides care for patients primarily from Luton and South Bedfordshire, while our children's service cares for children across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Milton Keynes.
