Just a heads up, fellow Clarets…
A walk is planned but not just any walk - it’s from Lands’ End to John O’Groats. The walk is in aid of Cystic Fibrosis. My grandson has this life limiting condition; he is in hospital at moment but will, fingers crossed, be out soon to carry on being a 6 year old Claret.

Your players have even offered support.

Can you help by passing the word round for folk to follow via social media (Facebook)- walking4CF (Twitter)- walking4cf?
I did ask the club if I could walk through on a match day but, to no avail, I understand they will get a lot of requests like this.

If you can think of other ways in which we can raise awareness, money for research etc I am willing to consider all suggestions.

In a nut shell, I am setting off 1 July and have planned to do 63 walking days - I am not 21 by the way! Total distance is 1115 miles, with an average of 19 miles per day.
A Running club, Running4cf, who are based in Billington are helping with logistics, promotion’s, end of year Ball etc etc without there help it would be impossible.

On the 11 August I get as close as I can, at Appletreewick. Then there is an event that day where you can join in, either walk 22 or 50 k of the route.
Rossendale and Pendle Mountain Rescue team are helping out with that day, camping at Masson’s camp site. http://www.sientries.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ultra 22 or 50 walk 11 August

I am completely self-funding and all monies donated go to CF Trust.

I am also happy if Clarets help or we can split how funds are donated via being a claret - we will donate a % to Youth Foundation?

Cheers.https://photos.smugmug.com/Sports/Footb ... 0-1280.mp4

Great cause and wish you all the very best pal.

I've edited the first post on the thread to correct the url of the site from co.uk to org.uk and I've just donated a tenner to start things off from this board.

All the very best to you with the walk - one hell of a task. And I'll refrain from the joke of asking why you don't do it the other way because it's downhill.

You are a Star sir, thank you... I have a few more player videos to drop in at some point, I will send to you first CT. thanks for sorting my mistakes out, not my best attribute.
onwards and upwards or down which is best way

Good luck, Amex. Bit strapped for cash at the minute with my wife being on maternity leave (down to 0 pay ), but I'll donate when I can.

I cycled it six years ago in aid of Cancer Research and it was fantastic. You'll be shocked at just how hilly the south is, especially around the coast on the cliff roads. It was flatter in Scotland as you tend to go through the hills, not over them.

Good luck!
