The aim is to hike from John O' Groats to Lands End to support and pay for charity funding necessary to keep the hospice operating for a single day. We have already been fortunate to receive £1,000 from a local football team (Lancaster Lads Club) so require, with your help, a further £12,500 to meet our target.

Our aim is to also help raise awareness of the fantastic work which is undertaken daily by both the professional staff and the team of volunteers who give up their time to support this important organisation.

Finally, we give thoughts to our lost friends John, Max and Bill, and their loved ones, who the hospice helped in their final days.

The challenge is to walk over 900 miles in under forty days raising funds as we go. There is much jeopardy ahead of us and as a 71 year old walker completing the challenge won't be easy. However, we will, with your help, do our best to meet both our physical and financial targets.
