Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In May after years of non-committal, I will be walking the West Highland Way in its entirety.  This is something I have always wanted to do since being inspired watching Jimmie McGregor and his TV series about the walk back in the eighties.  I have been visiting the area the route passes through for the last thirty years and have covered a couple of sections but never the whole 96 mile walk.  Quite simply it has been on my tick list of things to do, it’s just take me a hell of a time to get round to it.  

I will be spending a week walking with my wife Elaine and our good friends Lorna & Gary and we are all really excited about it.  I had always said when I got round to walking the route, I would not attempt to rush it as there is so much stunning scenery to enjoy 

You may be aware that I am the Operations Manager for the PBC Foundation. Like most charities, we are truly swimming against a very strong tide in our efforts to provide support and information to our service users in an uncertain financial climate.  

Whilst this walk is not intended as a quick three or four day feat of endurance, it is still a test. I would very much appreciate if you would help me to help the Foundation continue to provide its much needed services to those who suffer from PBC by sponsoring me.  I hope to provide the Foundation with updates and photos on a daily basis as a diary of the walk which they will share with our service users on their website and facebook.  Many thanks for your support.
