Hadrians Walk

When I heard that Martin was planning on walking 84 miles in 6 days, across England, I might have laughed at him a bit. Just a little. Okay, I choked eventually.

But you know what? He’s 3 days into it and so far whilst he is suffering a bit (okay, a lot) he’s not dead yet.

Frankly, I think all the walkers are mad, absolutely bloody mad, but it’s such a good cause, how can I begrudge them their madness. So, even as I laughed about Martin walking his feet off, I threw some money his way, so that it was at least worth his blood, sweat and tears.

If you’re interested, you can watch the tweets come in by searching #hadrianswalk on twitter (and there, I’ve even linked it for you!) and Dad Who Writes is keeping us all updated at the end of each day.

The money raised goes to the Joseph Salmon Trust.

Joseph Salmon was a little boy who died of pneumonia when he was three. A year after his death his parents set up the Joseph Salmon trust to give financial support to parents in the Huddersfield and Mirfield areas, whose child has died.

So, you know, it’s a good cause and everything.

Basically, I’m asking you to dig deep and donate a few pence to the Joseph Salmon Trust, so that they can help out bereaved parents.

OR, if you don’t have the money (which hey, I know that feeling well, without my ad revenue I wouldn’t have been able to donate a cent) you can go and comment on THIS POST, where $1 will be donated for every comment left. (fine print: One comment per person and a valid email address MUST be left).

And if you’re so inclined, cheer the walkers along on twitter by using the #hadrianswalk hashtag. They’ll (probably) be grateful for all the support they can get (from us lazy internet friends sitting at home in our warm living rooms….).

Hehe.
