This post is long overdue and probably too late to convince anyone else to sponsor me now, but I think I never posted about the Walk before..which is a shame.
Monday till saturday I'm joining a group of people from the Netherlands, Great Brittain and the US in a fundraising walk across England. We're going to walk the 135 kilometers (84miles) along the Hadrians wall.
I've got good shoes, good socks, a reasonable condition and a 2L camelpack for water. I hope this keeps me alive.
So, why am I trying torture myself abroad? To raise funds for the Joseph Salmon Trust!
In short what the Joseph Salmon Trust does is supporting parents who have lost a child by providing financial assistance to those who need it most. Whether it is financial aid in paying for a gravestone or other practical financial help, it doesn't help the parents with the burden of losing a child, but it does help prevent financial problems adding to the horror of losing your kid.
Please consider sponsoring a dollar, a euro, a yen or whichever currency you use to support the trust.
