In February 2010 I started my 5,000+ mile charity walk clockwise from Brighton around the coastline of Britain.
I hope to raise £100,000 for Alzheimer's Society and Alzheimer Scotland. So far we have raised over £45,500.
My walk will take about three years as I am going round the coast in sections, and I expect to wear out five pairs of boots and perhaps lose a couple of spare chins!
As I plod along I stop to meet and interview people who live along the coast. I hear their stories and share them with you on the website. I hope to include them at the end of the walk in a book and a radio series called "Characters on the Coastline".
I am always very grateful for any media coverage to help raise awareness of Alzheimer's and to support the fundraising. Please let me know if you can help with this or if you can put me in contact with a "character on the coastline".
My overnight stop-overs are either in paid-for accommodation such as B&B's, pubs and hotels depending on where I get to at the end of each day, or I am sleeping in my tent! Although accommodation with a comfortable bed and hot water is preferable, it costs money and I am funding the walk myself! So, I hope that along the way I might get a little help. If you, or someone you know on the coast can provide accommodation, please get in touch with me. Anything and everything to help me round the coastline and raise funds for Alzheimer's would be just brilliant, and very much appreciated.
I do hope that you will follow my progress, and that you might even be able to come and join me at some point. Thank you for your support.
