<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit. Every day&nbsp;six families in the UK are told their loved one has been killed in a road crash.</p> <p>I am doing this 26-mile&nbsp;trek&nbsp;in memory of one of my best friends for many years, Dean "Spillo" Spalding, who was tragically killed&nbsp;in&nbsp;one such crash in December 2010, aged just 27. I am planning to add a further two miles to the trek to make it 28 miles, marking the age he would have been this year.</p> <p>I am looking to raise as much money as possible for Brake, a charity which provides expert and sensitive support to people whose lives have been&nbsp;devastated by&nbsp;a death or serious injury on the road. &pound;500 seems a challenging but realistic target though I hope to raise more.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure, so please dig deep and donate all you can.</p> <p>I know&nbsp;this 26-mile hike will represent a considerable challenge, given I often drive less than half a mile&nbsp;to work each day at the moment!&nbsp;And I hope this event will be a stepping-stone to further, bigger, challenges.</p> <p>Thanks for visiting. Spillo, you'll never walk alone.</p>
