Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This is my story and my reason for this walk. I gave up alcohol in Swansea in 1995. I have not had a drink since. I have lived on Hampstead Heath from 2005 until January this year. 

I don't claim benefits and work as a handyman. I am a bricklayer by trade.

The soup kitchen has helped me a lot over the years. I met friends and started to help out. It does a good job feeding homeless people 5 nights a week.

I wanted to give something back and came up with this idea.

These are my preparations:

Fitness; every day I walk 10 - 15 miles.

I want to say a big thanks for all those giving on this site.
