Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am walking with family and friends from the Ocean Lake at Weybread in Mid Suffolk to the North Sea at Lowestoft to help raise money for Harold Dean Charity (HDC)'s More than a Drop in the Ocean Appeal. HDC need to raise around £420,000 by 31 December 2025 to purchase the Lake which it has leased for the last 50 years and safeguard current and planned uses for the benefit of the local community which I live in. To date over £325,000 has been pledged towards our appeal. I have been a Trustee of HDC for more than 8 years now and believe that this unique site, the Ocean, should be protected. It is already enjoyed by many hundreds of local anglers and sailors and - if our future plans are successful - the Ocean will be enjoyed by a broader section of the community and play an even greater role in the protection of the amazing range of wildlife that now finds a home here.

We will be taking quieter routes away from busy main roads and hope to use parts of the Angles Way to get us there from one Ocean to another sea. Final routes are still being worked out but are likely to see us walking in the region of 26-28 miles: the longest walk in a single day that I will have undertaken so far.
