Walking Home for Christmas
Many of our veterans have walked in far worse and more
dangerous environments than we might care to imagine. The ‘Walking with the
Wounded’ Charity have given us a chance to be inspired by their determination
and challenge yourself to take part.
This Christmas the charity is
asking us to walk 1 mile or 100 miles or more home on day between 12 and 26
December
As an ex-soldier, I have taken up
their challenge and on December 15 after the Fulham – Ipswich game I will get
the train as far as Chelmsford and then I will walk the rest of the way home,
but too make it more difficult I will be walking on my own, starting at midnight
and not using roads where I can.
I will be walking 64 miles,
mostly on the ‘Essex Way’ and the first 7 hours of it in the dark.
I hope you can sponsor me – the
money raised will help the ‘Walking with the Wounded’ charity with their ‘Home
Straight’ project which helps homeless veterans get back into employment.
Remember for every soldier who is
physically wounded, five will have a mental injury.
And please sponsor me here
