On the 1st May Cookie & Paul will start a 3,000 mile walk (see the sidebar). We are doing this to raise funds for The Cystic Fibrosis Trust as we both have friends that suffer from this currently incurable disease. The money raised will help fund research to find a cure. If you wish to sponsor us straight away, you can do so securely here.
But: I think it’s much more sporting to sponsor us by the mile – Remember there’s no guarantee that we’ll make it to the end, so it might not cost you as much as you think! We’ll be tracking our progress and plotting it on this map, so you’ll be able to see exactly how out of pocket you are on a weekly basis. If you want to sponsor us this way leave a comment with your Pence per Mile Pledge in this post and I’ll chase you up when I get back! Your generosity will be greatly appreciated :)

I’ll do the penny a mile pledge, but you’ll have to convert to US Dollars, and let me know the amount and where to send.
Your trip, Paul and Cookie, is jaw-dropping and awe-inspiring. Most of us backpackers and trekkers would like to do what you are doing.
Best,
