My brother Richard regularly walks over 30 miles a week (and that's just looking for his car keys). So this year he's agreed to join me on a 17-mile Buckinghamshire wander from Waddesdon to Weedon via Westcott and Whitchurch, linking around 10 local churches and (coincidentally) several pubs.

Any sponsorship you feel generous enough to give will go towards my village's church, which has been falling down for over 900 years but hasn't quite managed it yet. Your support will, quite literally, support it. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Richard and I thank you, from the bottom of our hearts (and boots).
