Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm hiking the Pacific Crest Trail to raise money in memory of my wife's aunty Pat. She was a wonderful, energetic and bright lady, whose shining light was dimmed by dementia.

On April 4th I am starting an epic journey. I intend to start walking at the Mexican border, heading North through the USA, not stopping until I reach the Canadian border, 5 months later.

That's 2660 miles, along the Pacific Crest Trail. I'll be hiking about 20 miles almost every day, carrying everything I need to survive in the wilderness on my back, and sleeping each night in my tent.

The journey will take me through hot days and freezing nights in the Southern California desert, over snow covered mountains at 14,000 feet in the high Sierra Nevada, and across majestic volcanic mountain ranges through Oregon and Washington.

It will be a fantastic adventure, but I know it will be tough, and there will be times when I question my sanity.

At those times, your donation will mean everything to me. It will be the reason that I keep putting one foot in front of the other, driving me on to Canada.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
