Story

54 years of age. FIFTY FOUR!!!
Considering Danny Glover was only 41 when he declared "I'm getting too old for this sh1t" in the first Lethal Weapon I must be certifiable.
Yet, here I am. Toenails grown back (again) and knees still made of custard creams, ready to get the band back together once more with Wigan's premier Naturist and #bow quaffing afficianado Stuart to show the rest of the town that when it comes to fund raising, the 5 really DO do it better.
We did the thick end of four grand between us last year and are hoping to smash that record this time.
So come on folks. Dig deep for a fantastic cause.
We'll do the hard bit - walking 33 miles from Wigan to Blackpool fuelled only by fruit juice* and bawdy humour.
You do the easy bit - Sitting on your backside laughing at us & throwing us a few quid for being daft.
We've raised over £100k doing these ridiculous walks all for a fantastic cause & a great young lad.
As always, those readers with a more robust constitution head straight to the pictures section for some red hot blister action...and a bit more besides...

* Cider. Strong cider.
