Thanks for visiting our page.

I've been running since I was a kid, school cross country, Stoke FIT Running Club, Potteries Marathon, but in 2018 it all came to a grinding halt. 

Diagnosed with a faulty heart valve and an aortic aneurism I needed a bit of repair. I had open heart surgery on 4th December 2018 and the care I had from Royal Stoke Hospital was second to none. In appreciation of this myself and Penny set ourselves a target to raise £16,000 for British Heart Foundation who have  helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK.  

We had some grand fundraising plans in 2019/2020 which included an 80s themed party, but lockdown  stopped this. Continuing the 80s theme instead of a party we are now planning on walking 80 miles in 80s gear...thankfully not over one day but eight days!

So we start on Thursday 12th May and finish on Sunday 22nd May at Lawton Memorial Hall with tea, coffee, cake, raffle and tombola. 

The walk itinerary is:

Thursday 12 May              Disley to Teggs Nose  11 miles 

Saturday 14th May           Nuneaton Circular       12 miles 

Sunday  15th May             Nuneaton Circular       12 miles 

Tuesday 17th May            Sandbach Canal Walk  9 miles 

Wednesday 18th May       Biddulph to Congleton 9 miles 

Friday 20th May                 Trent & Mersey Canal  11 miles 

Saturday 21st May            Nantwich Circular         8  miles 

Sunday 22nd May             Astbury to Lawton Hall  8 miles 

We would welcome your support for all or part of any walk above, or if you would prefer to join us at Lawton Memorial Hall on Sunday 22nd May 2- 4 pm  and eat cake with us that would be great too! 

It's only thanks to support from people like you that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures and every pound helps so please give what you can to help us  hit our  target. Thanks!
