These Boots are Made for Walking
13th January 2011
Well the conversation went something like this...
Will you help us promote the big fund raising adventures that people can do for The Stars Appeal
Yeah sure
How about YOU actually do one
Ummm, ok
What takes your fancy
Well, I like walking and Chinese food...
Perfect, why don’t you walk the Great Wall of China!?
And so it was born! We’re all so pleased to be working with the Stars Appeal team again this year and although I haven’t been to the Pembroke Unit yet both Chris Ewington and Martha Bedford have, and they are full of praise for the staff and patients they had the honour of meeting.
So many peoples lives are effected by Cancer and I feel its somewhat reassuring to know that there are great people who dedicate their lives to making those of others a tad more bearable at such a terrible time. We all try and eat the right things and do the right stuff but that’s not always enough if it decides to sneak up on you – and sadly it touches so many families.
If a 10 mile run or a 6,000k walk can raise some much needed money and awareness then I’m in – a few blisters and aching joints is nothing compared to what some have to go through.
Am I looking forward to it – yes, is it going to be hard going – I think so, will it be worth it – blooming right!
If you’ve got a spare couple of quid please have a look at my just giving page and consider sponsoring me www.justgiving.com/martinstarke2011
I’ll keep you updated with the blog, photos, and updates from China on Spire FM.
In the mean time, I’m off to break in the new shoes.... got any plasters???
