Michael my cousin has given up his job as a 'hot shot' lawyer in Moscow and is riding 'half way home' to Wales on horseback through Russia,Belarus,Ukraine and Transylvania in Romania with friends and family.I joined him with another cousin for the last leg on 19 August in northern Transylvania arrive in Sighisoara on 25th August.  

Trek now completed successfully and happily albeit with some discomfort!

I decided to take advantage of the  pain I suffered to raise funds for the Heart of Kent Hospice in Maidstone,Kent England where I am a  Trustee.

Thanks to those who have supported me

Michael is raising funds for disabled Olympians
