To help raise money fighting homelessness, I will be walking a total of 500 miles and will be listening to the song " I'm gonna be (500 miles)" by the proclaimers on repeat for the whole thing.

To help avoid my rubbish knees from total disintegration, I'll be breaking this into a 5 mile walk every day for 100 days. 

You may be wondering why... 

I can't imagine how hard it must be to be homeless or to be stuck in such a hopeless position. I have no athletic ability or talents so I figured walking 5 miles each day for 100 days was something I could just about manage.

While trying to pick a total distance, the mere thought of 500 miles made the sounds of acoustic guitar, Scottish accents and cries of "da-da da da!" Circle my head. 

I thoroughly dislike the song "I'm gonna be (500 miles) and figured being stuck with it playing on repeat for the entire time might motivate me to finish quicker.

I'm planning on providing a running total distance as I go, and a count on the number of plays I endure.

Day 1 on the 1st of September
