Big ol' Charity Walk (OT)

[Mod Face]

I plan to do a walking tour of the north east to raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK, 100 miles in 8 days (bear in mind I'm a fat bastard) and I'll be stopping at pretty much every Iceland (I work for them) along the way to see what we as a company are doing during our 'charity week'. In order for me to collect money in a bucket I have been told I must have at least one 'buddy', for security reasons. The routes are as follows;

Sat Aug 18th: Blyth-Whitley Bay-North Shields-South Shields (14mile) [this one is sorted]
Sun Aug 19th: South Shields-Southwick-Pallion-Sunderland-Ryhope (12mile)
Mon Aug 20th: Ryhope-Peterlee-Hartlepool (16mile)
Tue Aug 21st: Hartlepool-Billingham-Middlesbrough (11mile)
Wed Aug 22nd: Middlesbrough-Ormesby Rd-Coulby Newham-Thornaby-Stockton (11mile)
Thu Aug 23rd: Stockton-Yarm Road-Darlington (12mile)
Fri Aug 24th: Darlington -Bishop Aukland-Spennymoor (17 mile)
Sat Aug 25th: Spennymoor-Durham-Dragonville (7mile)

It's a long shot but if anyone has the spare time and the stamina, I would be incredibly grateful for any volunteers to accompany me on one of these routes (to the tune of a couple of pints ). On an average walk you'd be surprised how much you can get in a bucket, averaging about £150 from my experiences in the past so you can see why I want to bring one along, could potentially add an extra grand onto my total raised if I had people to walk with me.


It's a big ask I know but as the saying goes, shy bairns get nowt. Of course I'm looking for sponsors too, I know times are tough right now but this is a cause I care deeply about, enough to wreck my body over. If you can help in any way, even if it's just advice, please PM me.


Thanks for reading.

Nice one, best of luck to you. Think I can rake up a tenner from somewhere. As for the walking thing, just not my bag at all.
