I've raised £1500 to help community buy and restore the Fishing lofts for the Cadgwith Fishing Cove Trust by walking 71km in 24hrs round the Lizard Peninsular

Story
On 15th April, I'm walking round the whole of the Lizard Peninsular in 24 hours and anything I raise will go towards the purchase and refurb of the local community's fishing lofts.
It's a total of 71km... about 44 miles. The vast majority of it will be along the glorious coastline, following the South West Coast Path. Essentially, it will be in 3 main sections.
1. Cadgwith to Gunwallow; 2. Gunwallow to Helford (via Gweek) overnight and 3. Helford to Cadgwith.
All in all, the ascents total 2400 metres. That's almost the equivalent of Ben Nevis (1345m) and Snowdon (1085m). I hope someone will carry me up the hill afterwards.
This project to save the Fishermen's buildings has been in the national press and on the BBC so I thought I'd do something myself to help out.

Any sponsorship will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
