Story

On 5th November 2021, my boy would have been 40!! I can’t let this pass without doing something spectacular for him! (And that’s not necking a Stella in 10 seconds flat!) I’m going to raise some money for a place close to my heart, and quite simply where he grew up and now belongs!

I pledge to complete 400 miles between now, 2nd April, and 5th November 2021! With the support of my best mate Laura, I will clock the miles by either running, walking or cycling! It averages out to be about 13 miles a week... 

MY FINAL MILE WILL BE COMPLETED IN RIDING MILL WALKING ON TO THE CAMP FIELD, ON HIS BIRTHDAY! ILL SET OFF A FIREWORK THEN CELEBRATE HIM WITH A PINT IN THE WELLY!!

The money will go to Woodsmoke Group (formerly St Gabs), which will help provide the camping and life experiences that have captured the hearts of many for years! 

If you wish to help keep his memory alive and raise a virtual pint through donations, throw some pennies my way... I’ll keep everyone posted of the miles covered and the places visited!! 

Happy birthday bro... this ones for you... I’ll be sure to watch the roads!!
