On Sunday 29th April 2018, myself and Leif will walk the route of Bendigo’s funeral cortege. This will be from his home at Wollaton Road in Beeston to his grave at Bath Street in the City Centre, a distance of 5.7 miles. The walk will take approximately 2 hours (from 1100 to 1300).

There will be twenty one people doing the walk, representing Bendigo's 21 fights.

Each of the 21 will be expected to raise a minimum of £100 in sponsorship.

Bendigo was once one of the most famous men in the world, celebrated in poetry from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and a town named after him in Australia.

He deserves a memorial. Here's why: beestonian.com/2018/04/06/a-bendigo-statue/
