Welcome to the group fundraising page for those participating in the Sunday 10 December '60k in a Day' and '10-10-10' Challenges for the Charity Walking With The Wounded and their 2017 Walking Home For Christmas campaign.

As a quick introduction, I am Simon Johnson the organiser and proud veteran who is looking to bring a whole lot of people together on 10 December wherever they are on this day with one goal of raising money for the charity and the work they do at integrating vulnerable veterans back into society.

The '60k in a Day' Challenge will start in the earlier hours on 10 December, from Rugeley and follow the canal systems all the way back towards Birmingham before ending up in Sutton Coldfield. Those taking on the full '60k' along with Simon will be added here as they volunteer their legs. Those taking part in the 60k in a Day are: Simon Johnson; David Sabine
