The Extremities 1,813 mile walk to raise awareness and money for 5 charities is now complete. However, to continue to raise funds for the charities outlined below a 2014 Extremities calendar and a series of Greetings Cards are now available.

If you could make a donation to any of the above legs to show your support simply click on the Donate buttons above by the side of each leg.

Before and during the walk, I am also doing various talks to school children to tell them about this challenge and to inspire many children to think about their beautiful country and learn about all aspects that shape the countryside today. So far more than 2,250 children have access to one of my bespoke maps and will be following my journey. I have also given talks to over 400 children at various schools around the country. Go to For Schools page to learn more.

I would welcome any support on my long walk and hope to raise media interest about my challenge so that in turn I can raise awareness for these 5 important charities I have chosen to support.
