Story

My name is Gary, I am a proud grandfather to 5 grandchildren. Two of whom are supported by EACH through access to their respite care, family support network and social gatherings such as fun days and Christmas parties. 

£7000 is the cost of running one hospice for one day. EACH have 3 hospices.

I wanted to take on a challenge to raise funds and awareness for this admirable charity whose beneficial impact I have personally witnessed. So over the final 200 days of the year I will walk 2000 miles. This will take 5 million steps! I will start this challenge the day after my 71st birthday walking on average 10 miles each day.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Any donation big or small will make a huge difference. If you are unable to donate just sharing this page and raising awareness can be just as powerful.

I dedicate this effort to my lovelies Freya and Gracie.
