Simon's charity walks 2005

The causes

After a few years of lethargy, I have finally decided to return to my long-neglected love of walking to raise money for three brilliant causes:

Dogs for the Disabled trains dogs to help disabled people live life more independently

The Brooke Hospital for Animals provides veterinary treatment for working animals in some of the world’s poorest communities

The Wetnose Campaign is a non-profit organisation that raises money for smaller wildlife and animal rescue centres in the UK and elsewhere


The walks

Until the end of the year, I will walk a minimum of 300 miles (nearly 500 km), including the following trails:

The London Peace Trail (4 miles)
The Epping Forest Centenary Trail (Manor Park - Epping, 16 miles)
St Peters Way (Ongar - Bradwell, 45 miles)
The Essex Way (Epping - Harwich, 81 miles)
The Lea Valley Walk (London - Luton, 49 miles)
The Sirhowy Valley Walk (Newport - Tredegar, 26 miles)
The Usk Valley Walk (Caerleon to Brecon section, 48 miles)
The Long Mynd, Wrekin and Wenlock Edge (c. 30 miles)

I am covering all my own costs, and NO registration fees, minimum sponsorship targets or anything else will be deducted from the donations. Every penny donated will go straight to the causes.
