Story

Hey all, back again.

This is my 3rd and final attempt to walk 106km around the Isle of Wight in one go for Macmillan Cancer Care. I've learnt from my mistakes (better shoes... don't touch kids with gastro) and will do everything I can to defeat it this time.

I suspect it'll take me around 35 hours so here are some things you could do in that time. You could get up, have your brekkie, go to work, have your dinner, go to bed, get up, have your brekkie, go to work. I'll be walking.

You could fly to New Zealand. I'll be walking.

You could watch all the extended Lord of the Rings 3 times. I'll be walking.

You could travel to the International Space Station then orbit earth 21 times. I'll be walking.

Why would I put myself through this again? Because Macmillan helped my Mum when she died of cancer and have helped countless patients I've met through work and they are just generally amazing. So walking for awhile seems like a little thing to do.

So it's time to ask you to dig in your pockets and pass me your change. I'll appreciate every penny and won't ask for your money ever again.... until next year when I think of something else to do.....

Thanks all.
