I am so excited to be supporting Walkabout Foundation and walking 100 kilometres on the Camino de Santiago for Walkabout’s 5th Anniversary. The walk will take place from the 30th September to the 4th October 2014 where I will walk the last five days of the Camino Frances from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela.

Walkabout Foundation is a charity started by siblings Luis and Carolina Gonzalez Bunster after Luis sustained a spinal cord injury which left him paralysed from the chest down. Their mission is to fund research to find a cure for paralysis and to donate wheelchairs to people in need all over the world. They’ve donated over 5,000 chairs in over 15 countries in the span of 4 years and they’ve funded millions in paralysis research. 

Please donate on my page to support their amazing work!

I am thrilled to be supporting such a wonderful cause and very excited to be taking part in London Walkabout 2013!

Join us for a 15 kilometer walk on Saturday June 18th at 10:00 am (with an option of doing a shorter 5k walk) around Hyde Park, Green Park, and St. James’s Park to raise money to donate wheelchairs to people in need in the developing world.

The walk will commence at Hyde Park’s Band Stand. Email londonwalkabout@thewalkaboutfoundation.org with your full name and email address to register. You will receive all details in an email once you’ve registered.

It’s free to join the walk but we encourage participants to fundraise any amount they can, whether its £200 pounds (or $300 dollars) for an entire wheelchair or just a few pounds for wheelchair parts. Here’s what the money you raise can buy:

£10 = front wheel
£21 = back rest
£30 = main frame
