Story

Starting from Putney Bridge, navigating eastwards towards the city, zigzagging over an array of historical bridges with the aim of crossing the majestic Tower Bridge, one of the most recognisable bridges in the world, before finally making a beeline for the finish at Southwark Park,.

All the sponsorship proceeds raised will go to North Yorkshire-based charity Dementia Forward and Parkinson’s UK Harrogate & District, who work closely together alongside NHS healthcare and social care professionals, offering localised support, advice and guidance, delivering a much needed service to people with dementia or Parkinson’s, their friends and families.

Your contribution will go a long way to make a real difference to those in need.

Every penny will be spent wisely and put to good use.

Trust me. I know as I am a Yorkshireman, albeit a mutating variant but nevertheless a genuine fake one.

At a personal level, I am excited to take on this challenge and also the opportunity of being a child without boundaries for the day, taking in the sights, sounds and smell of the city, some London landmarks from the ground up. Along the way, perhaps fuelling my hyper-energy level with high-octane superfood, copious amount of ice cream, cakes, lollies, pop and wotsits, not necessary in that order.

It’s going to be wicked... brill.... radical... cowabanga. 

Loosely translated it:s going to be a cracking day.
