Andy Monk's Sponsored Walk

Andy has finished plotting his route for the sponsored walk we wrote about earlier in the year. Turns out 3,500 miles was a slight underestimation and the walk will actually be no less than 5,262 miles.

He is visiting 412 newspaper offices and 310 radio stations over a period of about 8 and a half months, starting up here in the North of England.

We'll keep you updated on his progress, and will be sure to make it known on My Formby when he starts.

We've just received an e-mail from Andy Monk asking for our support in a walk stretching across England in aid of two very worthwhile Charities helping to improve the lives of people living with Multiple Sclerosis by working towards treatment for the disease.

Andy will be visiting every Newspaper office and Radio station in England later this year, a walk which is a staggering 3,500 miles in total raising funds for the Accelerated Cure Project and The British Trust for the Myelin Project.

If you'd like to support Andy, you can sponsor him at his site, www.aboutms.co.uk.

We'd like to wish Andy the best of luck, and we'll try and keep you informed of his progress when he begins later this year.
