On 16th March 2010 is my 70th birthday and I am celebrating it by walking Hadrians Wall Path 85 miles from Wallsend to Bowness from 29th April to 4th May 2010 for 2 charities. I will be walking with my son Simon, as it is something we always said we would do opne day and now seems an appropriate time.

This site is devoted to my wife who nearly 6 years ago was diagnosed with breast cancer, and has made a full recovery with the help of a skilled surgeon and devoted nursing staff. All monies raised on this site will go to my chosen charity of 'Breakthrough Breast cancer'. Please support this great work to fund research.

I am also supporting 'Help for Heroes' on my other site at www.justgiving.com/peter-carter-is70 

This is on behalf of my 2 sons who are serving officers in the Royal Air Force and have both returned safely from areas of conflict.

Thursday 29th April and off to Newcastle to meet up with Simon for an overnight stay, then start walking am Friday 30th. Watch this site and my 'Help for Heroes' site for updates on our progress.
