At the start of 2023 I challenged myself to walk the equivalent of walking 10kmEverydayin2023 ie 3,650km
I am aged 69 years old, retired but am a volunteer driver with the NHS plus a carer for my disabled wife & this is my story:
1971 Joined the RAF
1975 Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis
1978 Medically downgraded with MS
1979 Left the RAF
1999 Joined The RAF Association
2015 Formed the Global Branch 1370
2021 Diagnosed with Tonsillar Cancer
2023 Walking 3,650km!!!!
Crazy I know but it just has to be done. Currently I have completed, in 346 days, 3516.79km, at various locations here in the UK & Spain with the vast majority being done here in Newbury, leaving "just" 133.21km to go.
All my walks are listed on Strava at https://www.strava.com/athletes/86316656
Currently have just over £1,500 pledged which obviously comes off the required total but I was asked if I would set up a just giving page, so here it is.
The final day's walk is going to be Saturday 30th Dec 2023 & will be done in Windsor along the aptly named "Long Walk" starting & finishing at the Castle end. Start time is going to High Noon!!! With the finish being some 100 minutes later as my average time for a kilometre is just about 10 minutes.
