Charity Sponsorship
I am doing this trek in order to raise money for Diabetes U.K I have set myself the solo achievable target of £4000. In addition to reaching this target I will need to raise enough money to cover my subsistence costs, such as the cost of staying alive whilst i am out there and getting myself there in the first place. No doubt, given enough time, I could earn the whole £4000 by walking around town with a bucket and a T-shirt, but that is not what this is about.

I am aware that there are plenty of people asking you for sponsorship at the moment for one thing or the other, but consider this. Running a marathon with thousands of other people is no doubt a good thing, however who can pick your charity out in the crowd. I will be travelling the distance of a marathon practically everyday for six months. I am risking my own safety to raise awareness for what I feel is an incredibly worthwhile cause. The fact that a walk of this magnitude has never before been attempted by a solo traveller makes me stand out, makes sure my voice is heard and makes the most impact for my charity. I hope that my actions will inspire others to do the same.

The 'Make a donation' button will link you to a PayPal site where   I ask you to sponsor me as much as you can (£1 is still 1 more than £0!). Thanks to the support and backing of Diabetes U.K, a percentage of all the money raised will go toward my subsistence costs. If I can raise £4000 then I can get my flights out there as well as my essential equipment. This doesn't have to be the final target however, I would personally love to be able to give Diabetes U.K £1 for every mile I walk, but it all depends on you.

So please sponsor as much as you can, any amount matters and every bit helps.

If for any reason you are unable to sponsor me via the donation button. Please feel free to send me a cheque to:-
