Wednesday 24th August
This morning I joined the walkers for the Anthony Booth Trust. They are walking the 90 miles form Skegness to Stapleford to raise as much money as they can for the Trust which helps fund research and development into Aplastic Anaemia.
Anthony ( Ant ) was a brave young man who was diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia in October 2007. He then fought hard to overcome the illness but sadly lost that fight just two months later on 23rd December 2007.
The 90 mile charity walk is completed over 5 days, so about 20 miles a day. Not that hard you might think, but 20 miles a day, every day for 5 days, in what is forecast to be not that good a weather, in fancy dress? Rather them than me!
I met them at the Clock Tower at 10.00 am and waved them off on the first leg of their walk from Skegness to Horncastle.
I wish them all the very best of luck and hope their feet and legs arn’t too sore by the end of day 5.
