Hi All,

Following on from last year's relative success of finishing 91st (me) and 92nd (Andy) of 1800 entrants in 8 hours and 11 minutes, Andy and I have once again decided to participate in the MacMillan 26 mile Mighty Hike in the Lake District on the 17th June 2023.

Our aim is to raise as much money as possible to support this wonderful charity which has helped many of us in different ways over the years.

Of course there is the personal challenge for us both in completing the event in a faster time than last year which will take an enormous effort as some of you may remember Andy literally could not walk properly for around three months after the last one. The only things that have really changed since last year is Andy's a tad (being nice) fatter and we are both another year older. However, training is going well for us both having just completed the yorkshire 3 peaks in 9 hrs 28 mins.

Please dig deep and help me support this charity by donating as much as you can. Literally every little helps. Thanks for taking the time to read this and all of your support now and in the future.

John
