Story

Thank you very much for visiting my JustGiving page!

This is the first page of it's kind for me, I've never done any sort of long-distance walking before. I work to and from work every day, walk around town and of course walk/ stumble to various bars, pubs and clubs in the Greater London area, but it's never organised and it's definitely never sponsored!

I'm doing this challenge as part of Independent Age's 150 year anniversary of supporting older people in need and because one of my team members (a far too enthusiastic young woman called Amy) came up with the idea to get 150 people to complete a sponsored challenge in 2013. Ever the team player, I'm going to walk for miles and miles to raise money for a cause that I believe in.

If you'd like to come and support me and my other Challenge 150 team members, there are plenty of lovely pubs along the route (or so I've heard) and fingers crossed Mr Sunshine will come out for us too. If he doesn't, it's going to be a much longer day and Amy's name will be thrown in the blooming Thames!

Please dig deep and sponsor me whatever you can. Every penny counts!

Please also apply Gift Aid if you can and post on Facebook that you're both super nice, and generous. I'll say the same about you too.
