Adam's NHS Virtual Route 66 Charity Walk
As there is so much uncertainty and unhappiness due to the pandemic at the moment I have decided to do something positive and raise money for NHS Charities Together whilst also raising some awareness of osteoarthritis.
I have been living with osteoarthritis for almost 15 years with a fair degree of pain most days and it turns out that the arthritis in my feet is best managed with regular exercise such as walking (plus managing my diet) and the below article explains more if you are interested:

So I have decided to walk the length of Route 66 (2231.2 miles) within the year (this equates to walking over 10k every single day). As a busy working father of two young children plus the pain of walking, this will be a real challenge and I'm not sure if I'll manage this but I want to try my best and raise as much money as I can for the NHS for the bravery and dedication they continue to show to help the country when they need it most.
If you also suffer from Osteoarthritis or believe in the need to help the NHS and can spare anything at all his will be very much appreciated.
