Story

So here is my Xfactor story: (For Charity)

In 2001 my life changed forever, my brother David died of epilepsy, something I never even thought was possible. It was a day that I will never forget, and a day that has made me the person I am today, rooting within me a desire to want to explore.

Since that day the idea of doing anything I did not want to, was not really an option, life is there to be lived and I wanted to live it and thanks to having had a loving upbringing and a supportive family, I have managed to fulfil most of dreams which I why I want to dedicate this next one, which is essentially a very long walk, for charity.

My Journey is from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Portin France to Finisterre on the western Spanish coast, a distance of over 800km or 500miles which is a pretty long way for a for a bloke to walk. The trip begins by flying to Biarritz before boarding a train to get the start of the historic walk. The walk can be done in little over 30 days but as anyone who knows me will say, that I don’t like to rush things, so it will take the time it needs to take, to be safe and healthy along the way.

So please give what you can to a charity close to my heart, (SUDEP) helping those in need and help me give meaning to what is a very long walk.  And if you cant afford to help but feel inspired to help, please share the link with others who might

Thanks again
