I am walking 175 miles in 7 days for;Rainy Day Trust;because I want to help those less for
Published 10th October 2018
During October 2018 I'm going to walk the 175 miles from Newquay round to Mevagissey; 25 miles a day for a week. In simple terms that's nearly a marathon a day for 7 days. The charity is 175 years old in 2018 so the distance seemed appropriate. I want to raise awareness of the help that the Rainy Day Trust can give people from the home improvement industry, and though I say it myself, it's a fabulous charity that does fantastic work.
We are delighted that Dulux are on board as the lead sponsor, but we still need a whole heap more sponsors so we can drive hard to help more people from the industry that are struggling.
Our work at RDT is absolutely vital for so many people, so please please sponsor the walk, no matter how small the amount.
