Our personal message:

On Saturday 12th July 2008, Nick's Dad, John Bill and other friends (Brian Alderson, Mike and Debbie, Paul Stanley) will be walking 30miles from Birmingham to Stratford along the Worcester and Stratford Canals.

Everyone is welcome to join in for part or the entire walk, or for drinks at Coxes Yard in Stratford. The walk was chosen as it passes many pubs along the way!

All donations will go to the Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospital Charitable Fund, who cared for Nick in his battle against Cardiomyopathy from June 2007 - March 2008.

Sponsorship forms and anymore details of the events can be obtained from john@trafalgars.co.uk

We did the walk on Saturday it was very tough but the first of us got into Coxes Yard just before 5pm! We started at Edgebaston at 6am so a long day!

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far! We have raised an unbelievable amount so far.

Also thanks to all the people who came to support us at the various stops and thanks to everyone who did part of the walk with us - it really helped.
