Myton Hospice is a charity that is very close to my dad: Mark Szokalo. He will be 60 on the 5th April, and he has had friends and work colleagues who have been cared for by Myton that haven't reached this milestone. He'd like to give something back to Myton for the care of all those who have used the wonderful facility.

I am joining him in walking from Hawkesbury Junction along the Coventry Canal Towpath to Atherstone. This is something my dad really wants to do, celebrate his 60th, and we both want to prove that we both can do it!

So, whatever you can give towards this cause will be gratefully received.

Friends of my dad, who wish to join us for the full or part the walk, should contact him before the day for details.

Wish us luck and as few blisters as possible!
