Story

Hi Everyone!

 

I'm sure most of you haven't heard of me for some time, and may even occasionally wonder where in this wide world I'am.

 

Well nearly two years ago I left the UK in search of sun, sea and sand, and however chessy it may sound, myself.

 

I have had a great time travelling having many adventures, some unexpected. Iv met many people and have always been surprised by their kindness and willingness to help a stranger, something I have rarely witness in everyday life. This combined with a conversation I had with a fellow traveller about the possibility of travelling across the states through physical power alone, and the loss of a relative, has given me the energy to pursue and create 'Alan's Adventure Across The USA' . A way of giving back to those who have given so much to me.

 

I'am walking from San francisco California to New York. The trail I intend to take covers over 4000 miles and I hope to finish it within 10 months of my departure.

 

This challenge will take me through some beautiful places, and no doubt, isolated and lonely places, this will be a physical and mental test, and one that i hope you will join me on.

 

All money donated will go to Cancer research UK, and to a cause which has touched so many people lives.

 

Anything you can give will be highly appreciated as sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways, it can change someone else's life forever.

 

So please guys forget about that beer tonight and consider helping others who desperately need it.

 

Thanks

 

Alan
