Hello all and thanks for visiting my Just Giving page in support of Action against hunger, a fantastic charity that literally saves lives in some of the poorest countries in the world.

In September 2012 I will be starting the first of 6 walks that span the distance between John O Groats (the most northerly point in Scotland) and Lands End (the most southernly point of England). On all the walks I'll be carrying over a stone and a half of back pack and will be entirely on my own, so if anything goes wrong I'll only have me and what whits I have to rely on. I also suffer from knee ligament damage so these walks will be a real challenge to me, but a challenge I'm really looking forward to.

The first walk is between John O Groats and Inverness, a distance of around 125 miles, and I'll be walking this over 5 days.

If you know me you may remember me walking the 146 miles between Blackpool and Scarborough in May 2009 with a group of friends, and you may recall as I collapsed on the beach in Scarborough that I said 'never again.'

Well where's the fun in that? I like a challenge and this walk is something that's always intrigued me. I would have loved to attempt it all in one go but hey with a wife and 2 kids that type of commitment from work just wasn't a possibility.

In addition to the walks I'll also be hosting a number of other events in aid of the charity, a party with a difference for the Queen's jubilee and a concert / race night at Eccleshill United football club on September 22nd, email me at simonastubbs@hotmail.com for tickets or info.

The most important thing in all this is that if you support me on here you are literally making lives better in countries where the need is at its greatest.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, if you decide to donate thank you for that too, I really appreciate your support and can't wait to start my adventure!

I'll update you on my progress soon

Love and best wishes

Simon Stubbs
