Story
I will be walking, cycling and kayaking 5200 miles in one year, completing 100 miles a week. All for 3 charities SSAFA the Armed Forces Charity, ACCT UK and Woodys Lodge. (8370 Km in a year)
My challenge will take 52 weeks and will start on the week commencing the 23rd September 2024. Along the way, I will compete in other challenges to help raise the funds for these three fabulous charities such as the Kilt Walk, 13 Bridges, cycle from Liverpool to Leeds and the odd other adventure or two. I also plan to break a Guiness World Record in the summer of 2025 all in aid of this challenge. (Details to follow, once approved)
My challenge will finish in 2025 with the grand finale of a team trek to Everest…which is a fitting end to what could be my biggest challenge yet! This challenge is all self funded, mostly solo (but feel free to join in with me) and around my volunteering roles and day job.
I am also doing this to remember my late brother who lost his battle to cancer in 2020. When I finish the challenge it will be the 5th year without him. In 2021 I set up a art foundation in his name for Cancer Patients which is still running to date. …
I will be talking about the charities I am rasing money for throughout the challenge, please do check them out and if you can offer support with some sponsorship, the price of a coffee will help if enough people support this. If you cannot afford a donation then I would appreciate so much any help in rasing awarness of these charities by sharing my page.
Thank you all.
Your support is priceless.

6 days agoSo this week I am back walking a few miles, probably won’t be 100 this week but feeling better by the day. I have a fair few miles to catch up on now, the summer months will be kind and I can increase the miles then. Thanks again to the organisers and judges of the Head Outside Awards. Super proud to have been one of 3 finalists in the Wellbeing Warrior for my work on Mental Health and the Outdoors.

13 days agoWeek 8 Smashed 775.4 miles Remaining 4424.6 miles Last week was a real slog, an this week on Tuesday I ended up in hospital, I luckily only have Pneumonia so this week I am maiming taking antibiotics, steroids and keeping warm. Which is hard for me to actually stay inside while a blanket of snow is making the country into a beautiful landscape of sparkling snow. I will catch up on the remaining throughout the next weeks to follow or may extend it by a week. But I am sure I will catch up over the next 44 week
