Hadrian’s Walk

This isn’t something I normally do, in fact I have never done, but having mentioned it on the podcast last week I wanted to include this post in recognition of the dedicated walkers of Hadrian’s Walk who hiked 84 miles across the breadth of this great nation from Newcastle to Carlisle to raise money for the Joseph Salmon Trust.

The fundraisers, some of whom when they’re not walking they’re blogging, are just a few small hundred pounds shy of the £20,000 raised for the Joseph Salmon Trust, a charity founded by their friends in memorial to their son Joseph who died aged 3 in April of 2005.

The Trust supports parents who have lost a child by providing financial assistance to those who need it most. This may be to help with funeral costs, or enable the self employed to take time off work in order to grieve.

If you’d like to help them hit their target, you can donate here .

Congratulations to the walkers, and I hope the money helps bereaved parents with their own journey, moving them in some small way to where they need to be.
