Story

A huge hello and welcome to The Galapagos Postman challenge 2024.

My name is Jonny Beardmore aka The Galapagos Postman!!

This year I've set off on a grand adventure across the world hand delivering letters from one very special post box in the Galapagos Islands to unsuspecting recipients in an attempt to reconnect the world one letter at a time. I started on 1st March 2024 and will finish on 1st March 2025.

An inspiration for this challenge came from my father Eric who suffered from MND and passed away in 2022 after battling the disease for over 8 years. The following song quote echoed his approach to life.

'One day you'll leave this world behind so live a life you will remember - Avicii - The Nights' 😊

I've set up this page to help raise awareness of the challenges people with MND face in travelling and communicating.

I'm proud to be partnering with Sam Perkins and his charity Stand Against MND in the UK. Sam and I share a passion for the power of research funding in changing the future of the disease. All UK fundraising will go to Stand Against MND to continue the great work Sam and his charity have achieved to date.

I invite you to get involved and follow my adventures on Instagram @bigoadventures or on FB @ Big O's Adventures
